Ok, thanks for your advises, I agree with you.

Please maintainer ignore my patch.

Sorry for the confusion, it answered you second question about if "the 
patch disabling them for systemd get merged by mistake?".

Yes, the patch for systemd has been merged - It gives me hint that it's 
a proper behavior for samba, but looks it isn't ...

Please refer to the commit: 20a624928c030fa13d8b7d45b4f4d7e1ac624f60

It should be reverted now!

Thanks
