Sean,

Appreciate the pointer at those earlier threads and the userspace issue.

Yes; it's certainly caused by systemd.  I can reproduce another 10 
entries just like the last link via `udevadm trigger --type=devices 
--action=add`.  I'm on a more modern version of systemd (249.11) so even 
though it was claimed to be fixed previously it resurfaced.  I'll leave 
a comment with systemd accordingly.

Thanks,
