systemd should not crash, and doing so is most likely a genuine bug. I can't reproduce the crash on a stretch system though, installing the systemd-cron package from jessie, so I assume it's already fixed (I didn't bother git bisecting the changes between v215 and v232) While I usually prefer to fix the root cause of a problem, I think in this situation having a fix applied to the systemd-cron package is preferable, as it has less risk of regressions. The changes I proposed to systemd-cron (i.e. stopping path activation on remove) seem like something you should do in any case. I.e. I would lean towards reassigning this bug to systemd-cron and have a stable upload for systemd-cron with those changes. -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
