So the reason appears to be that systemd keeps another PAM session around for
running its (sd-pam) and systemd --user processes, causing ecryptfs-umount-private
to think one session is still remaining. This means we have to run 
ecryptfs-umount-private before exiting the systemd --user session.

The following user unit does this (called it ecryptfs-umount-private.service),
but I'm not sure if that's the best solution, if something in there is broken,
or how to correctly install that globally.

-- ecryptfs-umount-private.service:

[Unit]
Description=Umount Private directory
Before=systemd-exit.service
DefaultDependencies=no
Requires=shutdown.target
After=shutdown.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ecryptfs-umount-private

[Install]
WantedBy=exit.target
