My understanding is that these devices are supposed to be created directly
by the kernel on devtmpfs and NOT via udev, which is part of how we expected
to fix the earlier races.

And systemd did not change in this time frame in any release. If there was
a change to the HOST udev in this timeframe causing a regression because a
new base image was published that includes a newer udev, we don't have
visibility on it.
