Good research, and "thank you" from a systemd-abstainer, that's
my way to learn, after all :)

I'd contribute my hunch: perhaps systemd is trying to get sysusers
up "too early", before the root file system is pivoted-in?

Feeding my search engine with "NFS root" and +systemd turns up a
bunch of interesting suggestions (e.g. network has to be up before
NFS has to be mounted, etc:).

Good luck... and tell us what it was ;-)

Cheers
