systemd 213-6 is what Arch reports, as far as I can tell from the 
PKGBUILD it's vanilla 213 plus 2 patches:
- backport fix for faily MACAddress matching (FS#40675)
- backport fix for fsck/udev mess (FS#40706)

Do you have links to discussion of this feature or bugs pertaining to it?

After a clean restart of everything twice without doing snapshots, the 
initial lvcreate does not have the 'counter below zero' error.  And with 
special attention to make sure the snapshots are cleaned up prior to 
attempting a new snapshot I am not getting this initial decrement on 
lvcreate.
