Thanks for the details bug report, Stephen.
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.
