I'm not sure what changed, but for some reason I'm no longer able to drop into rescue mode on my laptop (i.e. using "systemctl rescue") - or to boot directly into single user mode.
This behavior has definitely changed very recently (i.e., within a few days to a week) as I use single user mode often, and only just noticed this today. I'd file a bug about this but I have no idea what package might be at fault.
Just pinned this down. Apparently the culprit is the upgrade to util-linux (and util-linux-libs) v2.37.1. When I downgrade back to v2.37, the issue goes away.
