This is strange and I can't explain or reproduce that.
Fwiw, I've tried the following

# create the Debian sid chroot
debootstrap sid /srv/sid
chroot /srv/sid
apt-get install systemd
exit
# in a F18 system
systemd-nspawn -b -D /srv/sid/ /bin/systemd

basically works. I idid get a few error messages when the container
was booted like

Netlink failure for request 1: Operation not permitted
Failed to configure loopback device: Operation not permitted
Failed to enable ctrl-alt-del handling: Invalid argument
Failed to open /dev/tty0: No such file or directory
Failed to install release agent, ignoring: File exists
Failed to open /dev/autofs: No such file or directory
Failed to initialize automounter: No such file or directory
Unit proc-sys-fs-binfmt_misc.automount entered failed state.
