Dear Michael,

The machine on which I was seeing this bug recently died. In addition, 
the situation had improved and I can't remember whether I had seen the 
bug recently before the machine started to decay about six months ago.

If I remember correctly, what did help quite a lot was to empty /tmp 
from a recovery shell when the machine was failing to boot. I don't know 
whether systemd could do it automatically early in the boot process.

Anyway, I cannot test anymore. Feel free to close this bug.

Kind regards, Thibaut.
