well I guess I don't think this is a bug...

However I did fix the issue.
1. took '.' out of my progress text strings
2. changed balextension DLL (WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.cpp) in
method:
OnExecuteMsiMessage

from:
ThemeSetTextControl(m_pTheme,
WIXSTDBA_CONTROL_EXECUTE_PROGRESS_ACTIONDATA_TEXT, wzMessage);

to:

// Need to trim the action data text
            CString tempString = wzMessage;
            size_t strLength = wcslen(tempString);
            // Find the first '.'
            size_t strPosition = tempString.Find('.', 0);
            // Check to see if there is another '.'
            if (strPosition != -1)
            {
                size_t nextPosition = tempString.Find('.', strPosition + 1);
                if (nextPosition != -1)
                {
                    strPosition = nextPosition;
                }
            }

            // Need to add + 2 for position since it will still show the '.
'
            CString trimString = tempString.Right(strLength - (strPosition +
2));

            ThemeSetTextControl(m_pTheme,
WIXSTDBA_CONTROL_EXECUTE_PROGRESS_ACTIONDATA_TEXT, trimString);

the return is sill using wzMessage... I am only changing the string in the
control.

works like a charm... :)
