I'm working around this by using Requires instead of BindTo and 
including the following hack in the server file:

ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/sudo /bin/systemctl --no-block try-restart 
client.service

Obviously this is less than ideal (and you need more configuration to 
make the sudo work), but it does the job for now.
