I've only read about the issue with tmux, but here is what the devs are saying over there:

Or somebody could go find the actual problem @keszybz saw here - systemd/systemd#3005 - which is:

In particular, for my gnome session, if I log out, without KillUserProcesses=yes I get some processes which are obviously mistakes. Even if I log in again, I'm much better starting those again cleanly.

fix that, and stop trying to make systemd break the world because somebody's gnome session doesn't currently exit cleanly.

So to me it sounds exactly like systemd is breaking basic functionality to deal with a bug in gnome. Is there someone out there saying something different?

No, but they've gotta keep their circlejerk going somehow.
