Intermittent test failures on the devel branch: fails to login "Failed to fully start up daemon: Permission denied"

Keeping track of regressions brought by tracking systemd/stretch-backports:

This looks like a systemd bug:

It happens only rarely, is unlikely to affect human users, and is probably fixed in systemd v240. So for now, let’s ignore this and if it gets too painful, upgrade to systemd v240.
