There are no more instances of "reboot" other than the two I cited and no
instances of "restart".
As an experiment, I tried another, much smaller WiX-based installer I
created. Same behavior.
As another experiment, I tried Orca. It certainly prompted me to reboot (if
any MSI installer is going to behave, I guess it would be Orca).
My final experiment was to implement the tutorial example at
http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/lesson1.php. Believe it or not, also did
not prompt me for a reboot. I also logged this uninstall and found the same
two similar lines as in my app's uninstall:
MSI (s) (B4:74) [07:21:22:937]: Scheduling file
'C:\WINDOWS\Installer\1f6f1.msi' for deletion during post-install cleanup
(not post-reboot).
and
MSI (s) (B4:74) [07:21:22:968]: Scheduling file 'C:\Documents and
Settings\jlalande\Application
Data\Microsoft\Installer\{27DA485E-B001-4C9E-BAC4-F846034E86EF}\Foobar10.exe'
for deletion during post-install cleanup (not post-reboot).
Almost half way through the log his set of lines also appeared (don't know
if they have any meaning):

To complete this last experiment, I rebooted and confirmed that the files
that were in use (in this case FoobarAppl10.exe) were not removed on reboot.

Are there any other instance of "reboot" or "restart"? It's possible --
though unlikely -- that some custom action or merge module set one of
the reboot properties.
