Did you (accidentally) create the directory /var/log/journal in the rootfs? Make sure your /var is actually empty in the rootfs image.

Yep, it's empty when the target was created/installed. It's something happening early at boot time, but I haven't diagnosed exactly what's going on. And now that I think about it, I've seen the same thing on local ZFS Debian installs as well - worth digging into when I have some time, likely a bug somewhere.
