Ah yeah, we discussed this recently here:

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/7339

So the problem is that user at .service currently can't be started
independently of logind, it must be logind that starts it for you at
the right moment. If you do anyway, XDG_RUNTIME_DIR won't be set, and
things fall apart. We should fix that though...
