In that case the error is in a config file, and marking the service as faulty makes sense. In the unit@instancetypo case, there's nothing wrong with the system. (Maybe I'm overzealous here, but my first experience with systemd when it became default in Debian was setting up postgresql@.service, and the fact that @typo was sticking around permanently was really freaking me out, so I was glad I figured a way to avoid it. Iirc "systemctl reset-failed" was only invented later.)
