I wanted to confirm that I’m seeing this behavior as well.

Setup Wizard:
Looks like the exact same thing happen here, where the “Next”, “Maybe Later”, and “X of X” step progress text isn’t getting overridden.
I tried using different replacement text besides the asterisks as well, and the text still wasn’t getting overridden, so this seems to be happening regardless of what the replacement text actually is.
Using the default setup wizard, no custom wizard plugin.

Hopefully this information helps resolve this issue.
