You mean you see this problem under high load? What kind of load?
Could it be that you are running into D-Bus timeouts?

Do you get any error messages in the journal?
Can you reproduce the issue with v232 from stretch or tell us how we can
reproduce the issue?

Even my small PI (running raspbian + systemd 215-17+deb8u6) seems to
handle your for loop without a hitch even if under load.
