I've forwarded this upstream to
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/13417 where it was mentioned
that this topic had already come up and the fix was to document this
limitation. See

https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/11989/commits/6cc68362d529ca8b99fd6ca55b0fc7143e696aea

Have you seen this paragraph in systemd-nspawn?

I invite you to join the upstream bug tracker if you have further feedback.
Otherwise I'm going to close this bug report as this limitation is
actually documented:
