Steps to reproduce the problem
I'm not sure, I didn't try with another containers. All I did is:
- Create a container on a previous version of systemd
- Update systemd to v239
- Reboot to make sure upgrade is in place
- Attempt restarting the container
Reverting systemd on the host to v238 solves the issue.
