Yes, this warning is somewhat expected. As long as the components are in the same feature, and you don't have conditionals on the components all should be fine. As long as the Shortcut is being installed to the 'All Users' Start Menu, then HKLM would be more appropriate I think. Now that you have a separate component for it, what does the verbose log tell you about why the component isn't being installed?
