The mount monitor that was added to libmount v2.27 requires /etc/mtab to be non-existant. As systemd now uses that functionality, we cannot monitor any mounts anymore, and hence not support .mount units. Systems that have /etc/mtab around as regular file are unsupported by systemd since a long time. This patch makes that condition fatal, so we do not boot up with non-working mount monitor support.
