I'll try.  It is being built under VS2008 and TFS2008.

Can you make a minimal *.wixproj that reproduces the problem?
I don't see anything obvious in the information you've already shared.
I just looked through the wix.targets and wix2010.targets files in case 
something is happening there that would account for what you are seeing but 
didn't find anything obvious either.
