Hmm, so this wouldn't work if /etc/fstab says that / is supposed to be
read-only.

I think your update script should be the one that remounts / writable,
and then after that removes the file. The remounting probably makes
little sense in tmpfiles.

i.e. do something like this in the beginning of your script:

#!/bin/sh
mount / -o rw,remount
rm -f /system-update

Does that make sense?
