Funny, Rob introduced WiX to the world with the statement:
"Finally, the decompiler, called dark, can take existing MSI and MSM files
and generate XML source code that represents the package."
The reality is dark doesn't come anywhere close to actually representing the
original package. I leaves you with WxS files that are arbitrarily mangled to
be the way someone else `thinks` the package `should` have been:

To me, this doesn't meet the definition of a decompiler.

Did you decompile it using dark? Dark isn't intended as a proper decompiler,
and the WiX guys have
always said that you won't necessarily be able to decompile something with dark
and get candle/light
to build the result. It's intended to give you a starting point, or so that you
can see how a given
installer might do something.
