This is very strange wording. What is a "system property"? The standard has no such concept. Neither does MariaDB, it's not used anywhere in the manual, as far as I know. Here you can use, for example, ER_VERS_DUPLICATE_ROW_START_END:

Duplicate ROW START column `trx_start`

This doesn't look right either. The statement does not add anything, the field `s` is already AS ROW START. Why is it an error at all?

drop database test; create database test;
