Thank you for investigating this. This looks a lot like
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50199>, please discuss
there. I'll try to review your analysis and patch soon.
If systemd activation is important to you, please consider implementing
regression tests for it (see
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57952>).
