That might be related to the latest change "Add a service template for 
compatibility reasons with monopd.socket.".

Masking socket activation and enabling the service worked for me:

# systemctl stop monopd@*.service
# systemctl stop system-monopd.slice
# systemctl stop monopd.socket
# systemctl mask monopd.socket
# systemctl enable monopd.service
# systemctl start monopd.service

Kind regards,
Sylvain
