This really smells like a kernel bug. systemd gets the device names
via udev from the kernel, hence it's probably some driver bug that
creates these devices incorrectly.

Yes, we do not flush out information about failed services by default
so that the admin can have a look and figure out what's going on. If
this is not desired, then the binary path in ExecStart= should be
prefixed with "-"...

I think in this case (and by default) we should keep track of errors
though, even if it is annoying. But systemd is really not the place to
work around all possible kernel bugs...
