This bug can be considered fixed upstream:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=e3e0314b56012f7
I doubt that anyone would want to port it to systemd <= 208, because
in the porting to libsystemd-bus has been completely rewritten from
earlier versions. But it'll be part of systemd 209.
