In the bootstrapper the burn engine is tacking on:
Action <time>: CustomAction name. progress text

I don't believe I can change the first two elements (Action <time>:)

I am just using straight forward strings to describe what the custom action
is doing, my dev manager wants to filter out the extra fluff.

As well I have 5 merge modules and any CA progress text from them the custom
action name is:

Action <time>: CustomActionName.MergeModuleGUID. progress text 
which makes a very long string which gets cut off because of the GUID being
tacked on.

Here is a "normal" progress text I have:
<CustomAction Id="CA_Set_DbBackup" Property="CA_DBBACKUP"
Value="[DATABASE_NAME]|[DATABASE_SERVERNAME]|"/>
    <CustomAction Id="CA_DBBACKUP" BinaryKey="BIN_CustomAction"
DllEntry="BackupsDatabase" Impersonate="yes" Execute="deferred"
Return="check" />
    <UI>
      <ProgressText Action="CA_DBBACKUP">CA: Backing up the
database...</ProgressText>
    </UI>

This would display:
Action <some time>: CA_DBBACKUP. CA: Backing up the database...

Be nice to just have:
CA: Backing up the database...
