As I stated below my snippet, I already tried it with a separate 
component (complete with another dummy registry entry), but Windows 
Installer still does not create the second shortcut.

Maybe the problem is that both Shortcuts actually piggyback on 
"myapplication.exe" in some way - I'm getting one warning when I create 
my installer:

    warning LGHT1076 : ICE69: Mismatched component reference. Entry
    'ApplicationStartMenuShortcut' of the Shortcut table belongs to
    component 'ApplicationShortcut'. However, the formatted string in
    column 'Target' references file 'myapplication.exe' which belongs to
    component 'myapplication.exe'. Components are in the same feature.

Thanks for pointing out the HKCU thing. The registry entry isn't used 
for anything but maybe putting it in HKLM is better since the install is 
per machine.
