Also affected by this bug, fresh Ubuntu Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS minimal server install + openvpn

/var/log/openvpn-XXXX.log:

Sun Mar 17 14:45:59 2019 us=746742 TCP/UDP: Socket bind failed on local address [AF_INET]XXX.XXX.XXX.131:1094: Cannot assign requested address
Sun Mar 17 14:45:59 2019 us=746750 Exiting due to fatal error

Where XXX.XXX.XXX.131 is an IP aliased to eth0 (aliased eth0:1) in /etc/network/interfaces:

auto eth0:1
allow-hotplug eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
  address XXX.XXX.XXX.131
  netmask 255.255.255.224

None of the workarounds listed in this bug or here https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/NetworkTarget/ work - occurs 100% every boot.

I can repeat this reliably on a fresh minimal install + openvpn + alias on primary interface
