While I do see the bug and upstream fix, it would help the SRU process to know how to easily reproduce this. I tried the upstream instructions of editing journald.conf to set Storage=auto as well as removing the journald dir before restarting, but I can't reproduce this, at least not using Bionic. Do you see this only on Xenial? What are your steps to reproduce it?
