I'm not sure in which build this started happening, but it is definitely happening in the current build (1.8.0.7046). I also know that Removing Media Center used to work just fine in an earlier build.
I've tested this in both just the base Windows 7 SP1 image with nothing else configured, as well as one with many updates installed. I have only tested this in an Virtual Machine in VirtualBox, which I have always used for testing. I have not tried this on a real machine yet
Here is what happens and how to reproduce:
-Remove the Media Center component - in the preset, it is "<c>mediacenter 'Media Center'</c>"
-Install that image in a VirtualBox virtual machine that is configured for Windows 7
-The screen that says "Windows is finalizing your settings" hangs for a bit longer than usual
-When Windows loads up, The network adapter doesn't work and there are a bunch of failed "devices" that failed to install drivers
I am not set up to test this on a physical machine yet, but I have no confidence in removing Media Center based on these results at the moment. I'm hoping for acknowledgement about this issue and a resolution in the future, as I spent over a day isolating it down to that one component removal that was breaking Windows.
