systemd version the issue has been seen with

systemd-231-3.fc25.x86_64

tmp.mount has ConditionPathIsSymbolicLink=!/tmp, but if a service specifies PrivateTmp=yes, it will fail for e.g. ostree which uses /tmp -> /sysroot/tmp.

I'm still a bit uncertain about whether to change ostree or systemd (or both) for this. We could move ostree to a model where all of / is a tmpfs, and just bind mount in /usr like bubblewrap is doing. Or teach systemd how to follow symlinks for the case of /tmp.
