One more update: I verified that the steps from comment #17 can be used to reproduce the issue in an Ubuntu Core image started in qemu, and without using the spread. I verified it with the 20211105 image provided by Lukas in https://people.ubuntu.com/~slyon/uc18/ and also with the default amd64 core image from https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-core/18/stable/current/

To reproduce it, start the image in QEMU:

    qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -smp 2 -m 1500 \
        -netdev user,id=mynet0,hostfwd=tcp::8022-:22,hostfwd=tcp::8090-:80 \
        -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=mynet0 \
        -drive file=~/Downloads/uc18-20211105+systemd+3G.img,format=raw \
        -drive file=/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE.fd,if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,readonly=on

configure it as usual, and install a snap. Then:

    sudo snap install hello-world
    sudo systemctl start 'snap-hello\x2dworld-29.mount'
    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    sudo systemctl stop 'snap-hello\x2dworld-29.mount'
    sudo systemctl start 'snap-hello\x2dworld-29.mount'

The last command will hang for 90 seconds, after which the logs (`sudo journalctl -xe`) will say:

```
