Thanks a lot for the detailed analysis!
Strange thing is, I'm only aware of registry redirection from paths *to*
Software\WOW6432NODE, not the other way around. Seems that msi does some
redirecting itself here :(

I've committed a fix for this in r20898 so the next nightly build should
work fine again. At least it does on the Vista x64 VM I created to test
this.
