Well, both. First, you could test it locally. This would suffice:

 mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/
 ln -s /usr/lib/systemd/system/{lvmetad.socket,dmeventd.socket}
/etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/

(The changes you made in /etc/ above concern your machine and expand
what the package does, pacman never interferes here.)

Then, we could include it in a future package, if that indeed solves the
problem.
