Exactly that was my point. /var being separate partition doesn't change 
the fact it's mounted on some /var somewhere (root partition). And 
there's no issue in having compatibility symlink on underlying 
partition. In both cases - before and after mount - you have working 
access to /run through compatibility link under /var/run -> /run
