You can declare the property at the merge module level like this:
<Property Id="FOO" SuppressModularization="yes"></Property>
Since I'm not giving the property any value it doesn't actually create the row
in the property table ( or the table itself since I have no other properties)
but it does tell the compiler to not modularize FOO part of the conditional
expression used in subsequent elements.
