Does this apply just to EFS or are there known problems with other FDE products?

I'm asking in part because we encountered a weird synergy bug with the Afaria 
MDM solution and Pointsec on Windows Mobile (don't ask) a few months ago.

Yes, MSI has issues with encrypted drives. I thought Burn tried to un-encrypt 
the PackageCache to avoid this problem. Maybe the encryption bit is being 
inherited so it gets reapplied when the permissions are propagated.
