Ah, okay. I didn't reboot after systemd upgrade and, after rebooting, this symptom was gone and it wasn't broken. I assume that is expected? I've certainty upgraded systemd in the past and not had this problem before rebooting, but perhaps this behavior doesn't surprise others. Not sure how best to answer your question. dnf.rpm.log shows CLEANUP: systemd-219-19.fc22.x86_64 right after the upgrade to this version, so I'm guessing that was the previously installed version.
You should always reboot if you are updating the init daemon (systemd). So, after reboot, this issue is not reproducible anymore.
