I think this is a bug in the burn engine, with just 2 MSIs the displayed progress gets to 111%. This seems to stem from the fact that the OnCacheAcquireProgress() get an overall progress of 199% so I don't think it is related to the HACK code for the MSIs. Once I get some more concrete results I'll raise a defect.
