I rather guess that it is due to the perl thingies

  @instance_args, $action, @start_unit

in

  system('systemctl', '--quiet', @instance_args, $action, @start_units) == 0 or die("Could not execute systemctl: $!");

  https://sources.debian.org/src/init-system-helpers/1.67/script/deb-systemd-invoke/#L148

One should make them visible and then re-try the Redis installation after
possibly removing the debris of the nearly completed installation.
We'd need a perl programmer to tell the exact command to insert before
line 148 to make the systemctl command parameters visible before the
execution attempt. Something like
  print STDERR "systemctl --quiet, @instance_args, $action, @start_units\n";


The problem seems not uncommon:
