I'm not sure if the crash was actually caused by the daemon-reload.

Jonas, do you still have the /core file around? If so, could you pull
the systemd-dbg package from snapshots.debian.org with the same version
you had installed back then and get us a backtrace via
gdb --core /core /lib/systemd/systemd
bt full

Let's see if that gives any clues.

If not, and you are not willing to further debug this by trying to
reproduce it, what do you suggest should we do about this bug report?

Atm, we don't have nearly enough information to pursue this further.
