--- Comment #1 from Lennart Poettering <lennart at poettering.net> ---
Note that setting MemoryLimit= effectively turns on MemoryAccounting= but it
won't show it with "systemctl show", since that actually shows the original
MemoryAccounting= setting.

Or in other words, there's a distinction between the MemoryAccounting= setting
(which is unaffected by MemoryLimit=, as you experienced), and the actual
memory accounting which is turned on in the kernel either by using
MemoryAccounting= or by MemoryLimit=. If you follow wht I mean.

Anyway, this is actually intended behaviour, but certainly something we could
document better. Hence renaming the bug accordingly.
