You're right. I actually just found that this is a known Linux kernel limitation.Strange that I looked on kernel.org for documentation but couldn't find itfrom the main page. A new Google search led me to this link.
Linux Serial Console — The Linux Kernel documentation
"Note that you can only define one console per device type (serial, video)."
Sites I previously visited had incomplete second-hand info.


Sorry for the mistake. This is unrelated to systemd and not actually a bug.
