No, this is a silliness in the Windows Installer. If you signed your MSI, they modify the cached MSI (in the "Installer" directory) to add some information to it... invalidating the signature.
Windows Installer "fixed" this in MSI5.0 by caching the entire MSI. That's why you'll start to see me suggesting to no longer embed your cabinets when using Burn.
