I don't think that first assertion is quite correct. What you can tell is that you are being uninstalled with /qb+ or whatever exactly evaluates to UILevel = 3. Apparently ARP launches with something like that instead of /qb- which is essentially what "/passive" translates to (both in the Windows Installer and in Burn).
What you've really found is that Burn doesn't support "/qb+" (plus a bunch of the other crazy options that the Windows Installer supports for legacy reasons). <smile/> Anyway, if you want to know whether your MSI is being launched in the context of Burn, I think the easiest way would be to add an MsiProperty element to your MsiPackage element.
