Ahh, yeah, that makes sense. I think this is another of those cases like the progress bar not showing correctly for DisplayInternalUI='yes' on MsiPackages that isn't handled well in Burn today. As you've undoubtedly noted showing internal UI from Burn was not a high priority item in the initial release of Burn. The DisplayInternalUI was added late and covers only the most basic of scenarios.
I think more work is necessary in Burn to really get DisplayInternalUI fully supported.
