Dear Michael,
I am still convinced that this is a bug in systemd, as explained above.
I am reassigning back the bug report to package systemd.

If you think that the timer unit can be modified so that it behaves as
intended, please tell me how I should modify it.
Just to recap the intended behavior: the timer should trigger the
corresponding oneshot service 5 min after the timer activation and then
hourly, with a random delay between 0 and 20 min, *without* catching up
with missed execution chances, and it should *not* trigger the service
immediately during a wake-up from sleep.

Otherwise, please investigate/fix the issue and/or forward my
bug report upstream, as appropriate.

Thanks for your time and understanding.
Bye.
