Specifically, that is what you'd get from

alter system set shared_preload_libraries = 'auth_permission_dialog,pg_stat_statements';

Correct syntax is

alter system set shared_preload_libraries = auth_permission_dialog,pg_stat_statements;

You could quote the individual list items if you felt a need to:

alter system set shared_preload_libraries = 'auth_permission_dialog', 'pg_stat_statements';

but as-is you wrote a single list item that happens to contain a
comma.
