This may be an issue with the SxS and policies depending on your OS. Some people install the redist with the vcredist exe which also installs publisher policy that redirects everyone up to the newly installed libraries. Some people install with the VC merge modules and (somewhat randomly) include (or not) the corresponding policy merge modules. Having the ATL fix in this picture doesn't help either. There are also build options like _BIND_TO_CURRENT_VCLIBS_VERSION (and variations) that will affect what version your code will ask for - if that's set and you build on a system with the ATL fix you'll need the target system to have the ATL fix. Look in your manifest - it's probably requesting 4053.

Yes, I know they're relatively old. We try to keep our build machines stable. > That'd be the first thing I'd check. Are the binaries built on the same > machine as your installer?

The merge modules are checked out of our source repos, and appear to be consistent with what our release engineering machines are using. However the machine I built these test pkgs on seems to be using 8.0.50727.4053 of the runtime library, and our logging suggests we're trying to install 8.0.50727.762. Interesting! I'll try repackaging using the MSM from the machine I used to do the build instead, and see what happens.
