This is unrelated, but does Arch Linux respect rootwait?
Linux does, :-) I don't need on this laptop, but I have Arch also on
a USB disk, and for that one, at times linux doesn't find root, so I
found it just needed to wait for it to become available...
I don't see any issues in there that'd cause your systemd issues. Did you try
reinstalling systemd?
No I haven't. Though I wouldn't suppose such re-install (if no new
version implied) would help. I'll upgrade Arch to see. The other
option is to tried the systemd patches, or the patched systemd offered
by Christian. I haven't done that either...
For what it's worth I've been having these same issues. systemd-logind
fails to start with "connection timed out" and then everything is
useless until the machine is reset. On most of my machines it happens
in maybe 1 out of every 10 boots, but on one of my machines it's
*every* boot. I can't figure out what's causing it, even with
systemd.log_level=debug.
I'm noticing that right before the systemd-logind timeout messages it
tries to start "dbus-daemon --system --address=systemd: --nofork
--nopidfile --systemd-activation" -- it seems like this should have
happened much earlier though, when dbus.socket started. Or am I
misunderstanding the relationship between dbus.socket and
dbus.service?

I made some research some time ago and I found this:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=13790add4bf64
which seems that is the commit that make a regression in journald. That
causes boot failures due to logind. This Debian bug report has more
information: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=778970
So applying this patch in systemd package should avoid the bug:

Just add to prepare() in the PKGBUILD. Something like this:

I've been running this patched version for a few months and it works fine.
