Sorry, shouldn't or should?

Why does it work if I put the servicedir (and includedir) entry into system.conf and not when they're in system-local.conf? The latter file *is* read from the former, if it exists.

Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't use systemd for everything, and as far as I can tell the system dbus daemon isn't started with options to use systemd, nor is there any mention of systemd in /etc/dbus-1/system.conf .
