Same problem here. (Did not care a lot as it happens when closing the
session.)
This may be related to what I reported in this thread, but it is not
identical. The login manager problem raised with systemd v40 whereas your
problem was present in systemd v39 or before. (Probably you are right and v38
was the first version having this problem.)

BTW, whatever gets killed receives a SIGKILL, I have bash error code 137
(from man bash: The return value of a simple command is [...] 128+n if the
command is terminated by signal n).
