I have systemd + libpam-systemd from sid (whereas I had upstart at the
time), but I cannot reproduce the problem anymore.

I switched back to sysvinit for a while (I had too many problems with
upstart in general), and when I went back to try systemd 2/3 months ago
I never noticed the message again.
