WinRM query result locale

I am testing the following scenario:

1. WinRM client is running on a Windows Server 2008 with German locale
2. Hyper-V (and WinRM service respectively) is running on Windows Server 2012 R2 with English as default locale and German locale installed in addition
3. Msvm_ComputerSystem instances are enumerated (sample command used: winrm e wmi/root/virtualization/v2/Msvm_ComputerSystem -r:10.10.10.10 -u:administrator -un -encoding:utf-8) 

Observed: the returned result contains values that are with English locale - Msvm_ComputerSystem.Caption is equal to "Virtual Machine" (although I can see that the wsman:Locale element is present in the WSMAN request with its xml:lang property set to "de-DE")

Expected: the returned result should contain values that are with German locale - Msvm_ComputerSystem.Caption should be equal to "Virtueller Computer".

Note1: the behavior is inconsistent - I've been able to get result with either German or English locale values.

Note2: when I am getting a result containing values with English locale, I also see that the WSMAN response has the soap:Envelope element with its xml:lang property set to "de-DE".

Below I am providing the SOAP transactions for the following cases: 1) a WSMAN client sends a request with en-US locale; 2) a WSMAN client sends a request with de-DE locale.
