Known thing, but not quite a regression, as it does unblock and continue
booting. IOW, there's no possibility it will hang forever. But that's
neither here nor there: your log says you're using systemd 250.4. This
was fixed and backported to 250.5 (and 251 of course), so try updating,
and the issue you're seeing will be gone. If not, do let me know.
