This happens when something edits the registry and changes that key from REG_EXPAND_SZ to REG_SZ. %-variables are only expanded in keys of type REG_EXPAND_SZ. You should find that by default Windows uses %SystemRoot% and REG_EXPAND_SZ so everything works fine. It's only when some brain-dead program or installer mucks about with that key and changes it to a regular string that you have a problem. And this will only matter to programs that call getservbyname(), which these days are very far and few between. telnet is one though.
