This looks like a duplicate of https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=831894 which is fixed in newer version of systemd. Since you are the second person reporting this issue, I wonder whether you'd be willing to find out the commit which fixed this issue so we can decide whether this commit would be suitable for a backport or not.
