We have exactly the same behaviour in the Tanglu Debian-derivative,
which is using systemd for some time now.
However, d-i has some issues there (insserv loop, which nobody was
able to resolve yet) - we are not really sure about the cause yet, but
since systemd was by far the biggest difference between Tanglu and
Debian so far, the init transition might be playing a role there.
I will try as well to build d-i on Debian this week, to rule out any
systemd-sideeffects.
Cheers,
