So, I have it masked, and this shows from systemctl,
systemd-oomd.service                         masked    inactive dead    
systemd-oomd.service
However, I don't have the systemd-oomd-defaults package installed so I
can't say whether that would cause it to start while being masked or
not.  Perhaps I will give that a try at some point.  If it is being
started despite being masked, that is definitely a bug.  Masking is
supposed to be inviolable.  Since systemd-oomd is part of the main
systemd package, that would be the package to file the bug against.  It
is possible that it is not checking the service status if the
systemd-oomd-defaults package is installed.
