Hi Nir,
I mocked up an immediate CA scheduled in InstallExecuteSequence before CostFinalize
to have a look at this. Doing something along the following:

using (Database database = session.Database)
using (View view = database.OpenView("SELECT * FROM IIsWebApplication"))
{
    view.Execute();
    foreach (Record record in view)
    {
        view.Modify(ViewModifyMode.Delete, record);
        record["AppPool_"] = "WebAppPoolLocalSystem";
        view.Modify(ViewModifyMode.InsertTemporary, record);
    }
}

I can see that through logging all the rows on IIsWebApplication that the AppPool_ reference
certainly does change to another definition, yet the original AppPool still gets installed?

Any idea what I missed?
Thanks,
