Hmm, We don't use that script here, but we do call "telinit u" in our
glibc %post.

Seems to work fine for me here on systemd 189. Which version are you
using? If you are using 188 I think there may have been a bug with
daemon-reexec (which is what telinit u does) due to dbus changes. I
didn't look specifically but I presume that is fixed in 189. Could it be
that that's your issue?
