This must be a systemd bug..
As it turns out, the version of the package in unstable actaully does
ship with a bad multiline variable definition in
/etc/default/prometheus-node-exporter.
(I got confused because I quickly installed the package on another
system, to check whether the problem was one of my own creation, and
did not realise that I had installed the older version that only added
a single argument to the ARGS variable).
The fix is to add trailing backslashes to indicate that lines should be
continued. This is documented in systemd.exec(5):
EnvironmentFile=
Similar to Environment= but reads the environment variables from a text
file. The text file should contain
new-line-separated variable assignments. Empty lines, lines without an
"=" separator, or lines starting with ; or #
will be ignored, which may be used for commenting. A line ending with a
backslash will be concatenated with the
following one, allowing multiline variable definitions. The parser
strips leading and trailing whitespace from the
values of assignments, unless you use double quotes (").
