That means, with sysvinit installed and init=/bin/systemd?

Your bug title is a bit confusing, as systemd is pid 1 in this case, too.

I doubt that the systemd-sysv package being installed makes any difference here,
as it basically just ships a symlink /sbin/init → /bin/systemd.

Which version of gdm3? I'm using the version from unstable without any issues.

Could you please get a full debug log of running systemd with
systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg [1]

What's the output of systemctl show gdm3.service and systemctl status
gdm3.service? Any log messages regarding gdm3 in daemon.log or messages?
