Only "systemctl" and "journalctl -u" will try to mangle strings so
that you can specify file system paths where a unit name is
expected. This is done in order to help the user when he's operating
interactively, so that he can be a bit sloppy when there's no chance
of misunderstanding the desired operation.

However, in unit files we do not allow this, and strictly expect
correct unit name syntax.
