Is this true on all platforms ? The bug report seems concerned only about windows.
Should the wording be
"The default value of this property may be derived from the underlying operating system"

ie "is" -> "may be" (and some other slight wording change).

If we REALLY will always get it from the O/S, including on Linux, macOS and whatever else .. then it is OK otherwise the new wording would be better.

"unless set explicitly by the programmer."

hmm, well if you set it, it isn't the default, so there's no need to say that, is there ?
