systemd-journald races with systemd-tmpfiles-setup, and hence both are started at about the same time. On a bare-bones system (e.g. with empty /var, or even non-existent /var), systemd-tmpfiles will create /var/log. But it can happen too late, that is systemd-journald already attempted to mkdir /var/log/journal, ignoring the error. Thus failing to create /var/log/journal. One option, without modifiying the dependency graph is to create /var/log/journal directory with parents, when persistent storage has been requested.
