You can make a patch bundle show up in "View install updates". I think it's the Update element child of Bundle that does that. Also, Burn does a lot of stuff to ensure the MSP is applied correctly to all products it targets. Just double clicking on an MSP doesn't guarantee the same.
Basically, I think we're moving to a world where shipping a naked MSI or MSP to the world just doesn't work well. Or rather it never worked well and with Burn you get all sorts of added functionality that makes things work much, much better. Of course, handling GPO deployments that require straight MSI/MSP is a remaining sticking point... haven't quite solved that smoothly yet.
