Hmm, there's currently no nice scheme really for services that may or
may not fork. Maybe Type=oneshot+RemainAfterExit=yes is after all the
better choice there...

Hmm, you use KillMode=none, why that?

Yeah, this is a bit weird. It should not drop the cgroup path unless the
unit is really dead. there's probably a bug there.

do you know if a "systemctl daemon-reload" (or equivalent was done) that
might have resulted in systemd forgetting the path for one of the units?
