Can anybody with Windows installer expertise look into this?  Andras? 
(Then again, this might be an acceptable behaviour after all, not sure 
how fine grained the optional components are with the current Windows 
installer.)

Odd.  Could this be an upgrade problem, where parts of an old 
installation did not properly get removed?  Is there any traces of the 
postgresql extension left in either the LO installation's 
share/extensions/ hierarchy or the LO user installation's 
user/extensions/{bundled,shared}/ hierarchies?
