Thanks for all the investigation. To be honest, I'm surprised that this makes a difference. Though if you had a separately-mounted /var, I suspect it would have been rather more broken (/run couldn't be mounted, or it would be later hidden on mounting /var). I'll take a look and see what might have caused the change in behaviour, and now you've identified the cause, I'll see if I can reproduce it on a virtualbox VM. Thanks, Roger -- .''`.
