Bug description:
  My journal is filling up with logs like this:

  Feb 03 19:33:10 arc systemd[8685]: Failed to open /dev/pts device,
  ignoring: Inappropriate ioctl for device

  There are dozens to hundreds of this exact message per service
  started. Many originate from PID 1, others from the user system
  instances.

  That appear to be originating from systemd itself:
