I think the MSI SDK on "Minor Upgrades" confirms your observations:
A minor upgrade can be used to add new features and components but
cannot reorganize the feature-component tree.
You'll need to add the new Components to a new Feature.

Subject: [WiX-users] adding a component on a minor upgrade
Hi everyone,
Is it possible to add a component to an installed feature through a
minor upgrade?
The component I'm trying to add contains two files. And it seems, by the
behavior I'm experiencing, that the answer is *no*.
Could someone confirm this?
Point #1: The product, to which I'd like to add a component, upgrades
well if I don't add the component...
Point #2: If I try to add the component, I get the following behavior:
the product upgrades without apparent errors. However, none of the files
are updated, the "Add/Remove Programs" is updated with the new version
name. And when I try to uninstall the upgraded version, the entry in
"Add/Remove Programs" is removed *but* none of the files/services are
removed.
Point #3: Strangely, I have another product in which I already had added
a Component in an installed feature without any problem. The only
difference, is that the component I added only contained any entry
<CreateFolder > (no Files)
Thanks for your help.
Fred
