I opened up both MSIs in Orca and compared their version numbers. The missing files are different, but their version only differs in the forth place (which is ignored by MSI). The fourth place of the upgrading files is actually higher, so there are no higher version components on disk. Files which are exactly the same (same hash and of course same version number) do exist on disk after the upgrade. Files whose version differs in the first three places are also correctly replaced.
The affected DLLs are kind of like third party - they are built internally, but the version number is defined by the incremental build and I have no way to change the versioning algorithm (different team, ...). I have also googled some more, and one option seems to be to schedule RemoveExistingProducts even earlier, before costing. Would there be any downside to that?
