Thanks for your detailed analysis.
If there is something to fix on the systemd side, it would be great if
you can create a pull request upstream as suggested in
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/10548

Once that is merged, I'd be happy to cherry-pick any necessary changes.

Regards,
Michael
