I don't immediately see significant differences between systemd's and elogind's
cg_pid_get_session() or cg_pid_get_owner_uid(); sd_uid_get_display() is handled
solely within libsystemd0.
Can you please check the runtime data?
How is /sys/fs/cgroup mounted?
test@DebianUnstable:~$ mount|grep cgroup
cgroup2 on /sys/fs/cgroup type cgroup2
(rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate)
test@DebianUnstable:~$ loginctl
SESSION UID USER SEAT TTY STATE IDLE SINCE
1 1000 test seat0 - closing no -
3 1000 test seat0 - active no -
c1 105 lightdm seat0 - closing no -
c2 105 lightdm seat0 - closing no -
4 sessions listed.
Take the active user session.
test@DebianUnstable:~$ cat /run/systemd/sessions/3
# This is private data. Do not parse.
UID=1000
USER=test
ACTIVE=1
IS_DISPLAY=1
STATE=active
REMOTE=0
TYPE=x11
ORIGINAL_TYPE=x11
CLASS=user
FIFO=/run/systemd/sessions/3.ref
SEAT=seat0
DISPLAY=:0
SERVICE=lightdm
DESKTOP=xfce
VTNR=7
LEADER=2063
AUDIT=3
REALTIME=1734375305872153
MONOTONIC=4650196364
Verify the DISPLAY matches
test@DebianUnstable:~$ echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
Take the LEADER pid.
test@DebianUnstable:~$ cat /proc/2063/cgroup
0::/user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-3.scope
Verify that path exists beneath /sys/fs/cgroup
test@DebianUnstable:~$ ls -l
/sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/user-1000.slice/session-3.scope/

If none of this shows any significant discrepancy, I think you will need to
build elogind
with debugging. Having downloaded the source, add
-Ddebug-extra=elogind
to CONFFLAGS in debian/rules and then build.
Thanks.
