Actually, this is failing for me:

  10-153-68-12:~ # cat /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/foobar.conf
  q /home/foobar/tmp 1700 foobar foobar mM:10d
  10-153-68-12:~ # SYSTEMD_LOG_LEVEL=debug systemd-tmpfiles --remove --clean /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/foobar.conf
  Reading config file "/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/foobar.conf".
  [/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/foobar.conf:1] Invalid age 'mM:10d'.

That looks like correct syntax, based on that online doc I found.

If that is correct syntax, does that mean this feature is not
supported by my version of systemd?
