Ok I found the answer - "use the source Luke".
In secureobj.cpp which is the code that run PermissionEx account names like
"NetworkService" are coded to lookup the account using the well known SID
values not as I had assume by looking up the name "NetworkService" like
non-known accounts.
There are 10 special account names you can use, I think this should be added to
the documentation - I will try and do this and raise a bug with the patch.

Did you try "NetworkService"?

Subject: [WiX-users] PermissionEx and WixQueryOsWellKnownSID properties
I am trying to change the permissions on a registry key like so:
<RegistryKey Id="RegCommon" Root="HKLM"
Key="SOFTWARE\ACME\Common" Action="create">
<util:PermissionEx GenericAll="yes"
User="[WIX_ACCOUNT_NETWORKSERVICE]" />
</RegistryKey>
But when I run it I get this error in the log:
ExecSecureObjects: Error 0x800706fd: failed to get sid for account: NT
AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
Action ended 23:15:46: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
Is it possible to use the WixQueryOsWellKnownSID properties with
PermissionEx? Alternatively can I specify a SID (e.g. S-1-5-20) for the
value of PermissionEx/@User?
(I can't hardcode the network service account name as it changes on
international versions of Windows.)
