I just reread the man page for that. DefaultEnvironment is valid only
for user.conf, not any conf.d* file associated with a specific unit
(obviously, since those are not variants of "user.conf", but instead
are variants of unit files).

The [Manager] section is only valid in:

       /etc/systemd/user.conf, /etc/systemd/user.conf.d/*.conf,
/run/systemd/user.conf.d/*.conf,
       /usr/lib/systemd/user.conf.d/*.conf

The manual page systemd-user.conf(5) does not mention at all being
able to use ~/.config/systemd/. This seems like a shortcoming to me,
though.
