I think this is to be expected since your service just does one thing
and exits immediately -- when the service exists, the PathExistsGlob
condition is still true, and so the service is activated again by
test.path.
If you had a long running service, or another condition to say "we
already ran test.service, no need to run again", you would avoid this.

When using PathExistsGlob in a path unit, systemd starts the
corresponding service unit in an infinite loop. We have observed this
problem only under Jammy.
