Well, I'm pretty sure now that light.exe has a 2GB limitation on 
its own for the MSI file itself (regardless of using cabs < 2GB in
size).

I verified by a couple facts:

- Inspection of the temp folder showed multiple cabs, each < 2GB.
- After resulting error, .msi file is slightly under 0x80000000
(2147483648) in size.
- Filemon showed writing to the msi file up to slightly under the same
point at which
  point it didn't even try to write to the msi, whereas it kept reading
  cab files long after.
- The error 

So, the long and short is that .msi files with the v2 wix tools seem
limited to 2GB.
Once I get a dev env setup at home, I'll start poking at it.
