Responding to myself, it seems that my problem was that I created the 
drop-in conf file as:

/etc/systemd/system/grok-fsck at foo.d/10-runas.conf

However, for the override to properly apply, it needed to be in:

/etc/systemd/system/grok-fsck at foo.service.d/10-runas.conf

I think without the "service" part in the directory name it was not 
properly found by the timer-triggered service run.
