Chris, Is your new version a "Major Upgrade" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa369786.aspx), as opposed to a "Small Update" or "Minor Upgrade" (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa370579.aspx)? Also, if it is a Major Upgrade, then when is your RemoveExistingProducts action scheduled? (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371197.aspx; http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/wix/majorupgrade.html)
Could you also please provide XML snippets of the custom action in the source code for the *previous* version of the installer? What I'm looking for is both the CustomAction element that describes what the custom action does, as well as all *Sequence/Custom and/or UI/Publish element(s) that schedule the action and specify the conditions under which it should run.
