I had similar things happen to me and solved them by using CA like:
<Property Id="PROGRESS_DLG_TITLE" Secure="yes" />
<CustomAction Id="SetProgressTitle" Property="PROGRESS_DLG_TITLE"
Value="!(loc.ProgressDlg_Title)" Execute="immediate" />
In this case above dialog title contained [ProductName] which was not
resolved. Then you schedule CA very early and insert the property name
where you need resolved string.
The only way I can understand this is that MSI DB fields are not all
equal. For some resolution works, for others doesn't.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] [ProductName] not replaced in Shortcut Name
Well I used [ProductName] like it is used in the WiXUI localization
files. Everywhere else it works correct. Just in the shortcut it isn't
replaced correctly.
in the .wxl file i've got this:
<String Id="Test_UninstallLinkTitle" Overridable="yes">Uninstall
[ProductName]</String>
<String Id="Test_UninstallLinkDescription" Overridable="yes">Removes
[ProductName] from your computer.</String>
and in my .wxs file i've got this:
<Shortcut Id="UninstallProduct_all"
Name="!(loc.Test_UninstallLinkTitle) "
Target="[System32Folder]msiexec.exe"
Arguments="/x {$(var.TEST_PRODUCT_CODE)}"
Directory="Test_startmenu_subfolder"
Description="!(loc.Test_UninstallLinkDescription)" />
any idea why the [ProductName] isn't replaced for the shortcut?
