"System Error" means something like "Unhandled exception" from pam_sss.
In general, this shouldn't happen, although System Error is not always
indicative of a bug in SSSD. We use System Error as the default return
code if no other condition matches, so sometimes we just fail to
translate the error code properly -- at one point, we used to return
System Error on clock skew for instance.

Could you attach or paste (to me directly if needed) the domain log file
and also the krb5_child.log ?
