This is MSI behavior, not WiX, but you're essentially violating component rules by having the same component installed to two different key paths (HKCU -v- HKLM). MSI does allow that for files that are key paths, but apparently not for registry paths.
from issues.
Likely MSI never anticipated the idea of installing the same product in both per-user and per-machine contexts.
See https://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2003/10/18/component-rules-101/ for more about component rules.

Many thanks for the explanation and quick feedback! The behavior is understandable, on the other hand I had hoped it would work with HKMU. We will prevent a parallel installation in both directions (with the help of a ComponentSearch).
