Yes that's expected. Remove the RemoveExistingProducts element from the installexecutesequence and control its scheduling with the Schedule attribute of the MajorUpgrade element instead. You can even omit the Schedule attribute since its default value will give you the same result as you have there.

Is this the expected behavior?
