SQLLogin garbage instance names

If there is a second instance name in the registry it is displayed in the SQLLogin dialog as garbage. Project is built using 2013 SAB only. Project is a basic MSI upgraded from 2012Spring. Some prerequisites and redist files were copied from the old 2012 folders, but nothing overwritten. Is this a bug or a corrupted installation? Here is an install log example from a 64-bit target machine.
