Research direction
Start by locating the SqlAG and SqlAGReplica resources and searching for the hard-coded NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account name. Reproduce the behavior on a localized operating system and inspect existing tests or account-resolution logic. Done means both resources work with the localized SYSTEM account without relying on the English name.
