My bad. I've been using an automation tool for kicking off wix based msi
install/uninstall tests and just realized that the msi verbose log setting
switch was not turned on. Here is the details of what the
WriteRegistryValues custom action processing is saying for the <RegistryKey ...
/> wix sources snippet that I've also included in this response. I see the
Wow6432Node key path entry as well as the non-Wow6432Node entry that I also
want written out but only the latter gets written.

I looked at my verbose log file and I could not find any details associated
with a "WriteRegistryValues" search other than just the following.
Action start 8:55:37: WriteRegistryValues.
Action ended 8:55:37: WriteRegistryValues. Return value 1.
Is there anything else I could be overlooking that is keeping my verbose log
for detailing the "WriteRegitryValues" custom action processing?

Using orcas editor against my msi build output I see the following under the
"Registry" table. I guess this means I need to retest to see what's
happening as it appears my msi is getting built with the necessary
WriteRegistryValues custom action settings right?
WriteRegistryValues is a standard MSI action. It logs each key/value as it
writes it.
