So I think the key point is why AutoUpdateLangVariable() return success rather than fail, if is it reasonable for this case or we need other error handing?
I am glad to help you but I can't reproduce it until now, can you provide a step to reproduce it in simulation platform.
If it is urgent, I suggest that discuss with your internal team first and explain that we need consider the risk check it into edk2.
Best Regards
Guomin
