the problem was i had not mention the directody attribute for <RemoveFolder
Id='ProgramMenuDir'>.
If the 'Directory' attribute is omitted, it takes the directory of the
parent component. In my case, it is a directory with Id="EFIMonarch". This
explains why i was getting the warning for the outer directory
(ProgramMenuDir), but didn't get it for EFIMonarch directory.
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuFolder" Name="Programs">
<Directory Id="ProgramMenuDir" Name="EFI">
<Directory Id="EFIMonarch" Name="EFI Monarch">
<Component Id="EFIMonarch"
Guid="E510F3DA-82AA-11DF-8814-8970DFD72085">
<RemoveFolder Id='EFIMonarch' On='uninstall' />
<RemoveFolder Id='ProgramMenuDir'
Directory='ProgramMenuDir' On='uninstall' />
<RegistryValue Root='HKCU'
Key='Software\[Manufacturer]\[ProductName]' Type='string' Value=''
KeyPath='yes'/>
</Component>
</Directory>
</Directory>
</Directory>
