Thanks for all the replies.
I'd solved it by removing the Feature entirely & using a Condition for
the Component after adding the Component to the main Feature.
Nothing else was changed in the XML & it now works as expected.

Just want to point out that even if you sign your MSI, you will still
get a "Unknown Publisher" on uninstallation.
It's sort of a sad limitation that is explained here:

As an aside: That's outside the install transaction, so you can leave

You may be able to build your ADDLOCAL property from checkboxes instead of
using the Feature Selection dialog. This would allow you to enable or
