I've tested this now in a 16.10 VM, and I can't verify this SRU because I can't confirm the buggy behavior. Adjusting the journalctl command for changed unit names in 16.10, I get:
# journalctl -o short-precise --unit resolvconf.service --unit network-online.target --unit systemd-networkd-wait-online.service --unit systemd-networkd.service --no-pager

I don't know why the journal is being rotated.
