ProgressDlgTitleInstalling string not visible when product already installed and rerun msi

I am using the following .wxl file to customize two installation dialog screens.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<WixLocalization Culture="en-us" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization">
  <String Id="ProgressDlg_Title">My Progress Dlg Title</String>
  <String Id="ProgressDlgTitleInstalling">Installing My Product</String>
  <String Id="ExitDialog_Title">My Product Setup</String>

  <!--Failure Dialog Customization-->
  <String Id="FatalError_Title">My Fatal Error Title</String>
  <String Id="FatalErrorTitle">{\WixUI_Font_Bigger}My installation ended prematurely./String>
  <String Id="FatalErrorDescription1">My Product Setup Wizard ended prematurely because of an error. Your system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, run Setup Wizard again.</String>
</WixLocalization>

The problem I am having is that the ProgressDlgTitleInstalling string is not visible on subsequent runs of the msi. It is visible the first time I run the msi, but then I rerun the msi and this string is not visible.

I have no idea how to debug this. I used verbose logging and checked the msi log but found no clues on how to solve this.

ProgressDlgTitleInstalling is used only during initial install. Other operations use different strings: ProgressDlgTitleChanging, ProgressDlgTitleRepairing, ProgressDlgTitleRemoving, ProgressDlgTitleUpdating.

You can see this in the WiX source code for the progress dialog.
