Playing with this more, I think I see what you mean now. Indeed there appear to be bugs.

Martin,

Could you please take a look at all the systemd units and init scripts, and how they intervene with each other?

* /etc/init.d/multipath-tools-boot
  - this one works fine

* /etc/init.d/multipath-tools
  - this one is enabled by default, and starts up without loading dm-multipath first

* /lib/systemd/system/multipathd.service
  - a trap, that is easy to shoot oneself in the foot.
  - has alias Alias=multipath-tools.service but doesn't appear to properly be enabled in maintainer scripts, and doesn't seem to be masking multipath-tools-boot initscript at all.
  - does not appear to be operational properly.
  - references non-existant units
  - deamon fails to create socket... yet unit declares that socket activation is to be used.

Could you please dig further into these units and check what needs fixing?
