One thing to note is that the deprecated FirstStartWizardCompleted 
property got removed quite a while ago.  But that would not explain the 
problem you describe---an unknown property in an extension .xcu file 
should just silently be ignored IIRC.

I would suggest you file a bug with a minimal yet complete extension for 
reproduction (and report back the bug ID here).
