Thanks for the report with strace.

AFAICT, it's caused by setresuid() after unshare(), i.e. all root's
tasks are (wrongly) compared against the lowered RLIMIT_NPROC.

This is tackled by my RFC patch 2/6 [1] or Eric's variant but 3/8
(equivalent fix for this case but I haven't run that build).

[1] I could run your test (LimitNPROC=1 actually) against kernel with my
patches and the service starts.
