As Michael Biebl said in reply to your mail to debian-systemd:

  This is a bug tracker, not a user support forum.
  Please try the debian-user mailing list for such support questions next
  time.

  If the services in question don't have a pidfile, that's usually an
  indication that they don't use Type=forking, which is perfectly valid.

  Anyway, there is no bug in systemd here. So closing.

There could be a clue in that response for you to investigate. Perhaps
you could do that and report here. Better to provide than just ask for
"any idea". Audit away.

P.S. Your posting seems to live up to your domain name.
