Is this still reproducible with a recent version of systemd?

Is this with persistent journal enabled? If so,
- how big is /var/log/journal?
- does journalctl --verify report any errors?
- is the problem reproducible after removing existing journal files?

Fwiw, if you are interested in the newest journal entries, journalctl
now provides a -r switch, ie. it shows the newest entries first.
