Using RegMon (by Systems Internals) I found this hesitation was when

Oh yeah, one more thing, to address your original problem!
I'd run rootkit revealer if I were you. It's another sysinternals
utility, so you obviously know where to get it, and there's my pointer
above for anyone else. You'll need a fairly recent version, so I'd
update to the latest one. (Reason--as you now know--this info is in a
protective hive, and older versions of rootkit revealer didn't examine
protected hives.)
If you do so, let us know what you get, if anything.
But just so you won't have a heart attack before you report back :),
I'll say it's fairly likely to report that there are nulls embedded in
key names
HKLM\SECURITY\Policy\Secrets\SAC and SAI. But I understand that alone,
without more, is no cause for concern.
