Hmm, your proposoed fix with ConditionPathExists= is actually right,
after all, sorry for my earlier confusion.

We should restart the getty as long as the pts device is around, but
not do so anymore as soon as it is gone (which happens when
"machinectl login" dies). ConditionPathExists= is a nice way to
implement this.

I have now applied a patch that makes that change.

Thanks for tracking this down, and sorry for the confusion!
