No - it's a feature, called security.
sqlplus uid/passwd is checked against the password file (because you specify "as sysdba" - otherwise it would be the database), sqlplus / uses the NT Security model (does NTS in sqlnet.ora now mean something?) to check if you are allowed to start or stop the instance. It should be there!

Question: why should your service login as LocalSystem? Did you actually install the product as local admin, or where you logged on to a domain?

If all else fails, you can just recreate the services, but first try:
- log in as administrator on the machine, not  any domain!
- oradim -edit -sid orcl -startmode auto

To drop and recreate the services, login as local admin, and:

- oradim -sid orcl -delete
- oradim -new -sid orcl -startmode manual -pfile "path_to\your\pfile"
-intpwd oracle
- oradim -edit -sid orcl -startmode auto

You may need to reboot between steps 2 and 3 - Windows does not sync services very well...
