SCCM w/MDT UDI with Application/Package problems..

Question

I have an UDI deployment that I am trying to get off the ground. I have the MDT Install Applications page set up with a mixture of both Packages (that have been migrated from SCCM 2007) and Applications.  The weird problem that I'm having is this;  if
I set the applications page order to have SCCM Applications above the Package installations then only the Applications install and none of the Packages.   If I order the list with the Packages first then all of the packages install but only some of the
Applications install.  I can work around that behavior, that's fine.
I also have some items that when they are created as packages they work, but as applications they won't work from a task sequence.  However, the applications will install from within a client OS.  The command lines are exactly the same. All of
the content is set to allow deployment from a task sequence as well. 
What is it that I'm missing?  I would really like to leverage the 2012 application catalog, I would also like to keep from having to do things twice (once as a package, once as an application)
My environment is SCCM 2012 SP1, with MDT 2012 U1 integration. 
Thanks!

I'd like to say that I have, but I really haven't.  I've resorted to using ProcessMonitor to try and find what exactly it is that the deployment is trying to do.  I've learned a lot about the environment, but not a whole lot on how to repair this. 
It also seems to be a similar problem to another thread that is open right now;  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmanagerosd/thread/f1fe94a1-4eb6-4f4e-a1f9-b0a00a6fee8b
That thread seems to tie it together to Flash Player somehow.  For me, I'm trying to get Adobe Reader XI to install.  However, I've seen the same problem occur with Project, Visio, Autocad...   The only thing that seems to consistently install
is Office 2010, but I can't see anything that is especially different with that product vs. anything else. 
I've tried all sorts of things to fix this problem.  Fresh UDIWizard_config.xml and UDIWizard_Config.app doesn't fix it.  Creating new applications doesn't fix it.  Adding comments to the deployments and applications doesn't fix it.  I've
checked, and rechecked boundaries and no go there either.  The content is available, as it works from within a fully deployed OS.   Just about every fix for task sequence application deployment I've tried.   The applications does have "allow
this application to be installed from the Install Application task sequence action without being deployed" enabled.
Here is the smsts.log around the Adobe install:
