I cannot reproduce the problem under Windows XP SP2. A few questions:

1. Have you deviated in any way from the procedure described in that
document?
2. Of what group(s) is the local account a member?
3. Is this happening on your dev machine or another machine on which you've
installed the service?
4. Prior to attempting to start the service, did you log on with the
account credentials in order to create a profile for it?
