Title:
  [Xenial] systemctl isolate xxxxx.target  fails

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  when logged in normally::

  typed from terminal:
      systemctl isolate rescue.target

  expected:
      root prompt (or friendly rescue menu)

  instead:
      login prompt
      system reports "shutdown" whenever I try to login
      login fails

  
  when in rescue mode::

  typed from terminal:
      systemctl isolate graphical.target

  expected:
      lightdm greeter

  instead:
       hang on splash (plymouth)

  It doesn't matter if I use systemctl , init or telinit; results stay
  the same.
