Fully fscking root seems to have ceased some time since 2 April.
fsck.mode=force and /forcefsck both still function (with the same
slap on the wrist from the latter) but only for non-root filesystems.
(I assume your fsck.mode=fsck was a typo.)

/var/log/fsck/check{fs,root} only seems to get written by wheezy.

I get similar-looking files as you do from systemctl. The only thing I
didn't see you mention was an empty file /run/initramfs/fsck-root
alongside fsck.log

I'm running jessie upgraded from wheezy, itself from squeeze. I shall
be reinstalling jessie soon, now that it's "stable", to see if I can
cure other problems. This will recreate this root partition as ext4.

Cheers,
David.
