systemd is very careful in not using data from /usr or /var before it is
mounted. (After all we introduced /run just to be able to deal with this
kind of problems properly).

So, I doubt that systemd is really doing something wrong here, more
likely some other code involved in early boot is responsible. For
example, the device mapper libs might be trying to access /var/lock or
so. But that's just a guess.
