I looked into this a bit. The systemd-random-seed code will generate a
/var/lib/systemd/random-seed file if not existent [1].
This works fine here. If I delete /var/lib/systemd/random-seed and run
systemctl start systemd-random-seed.service, the file is created.

For some reasons, this fails on your system. Any idea why? When exactly
did you get this error?
Can you run "strace /lib/systemd/systemd-random-seed load" and attach
the trace.

Marking as unreproducible, as I can't reproduce the issue.
