I'm not entirely familiar with the details of mountall; but it looks like it just ignored the fstab entry for the root partition in this case, together with all of its options, and merely made the root partition read-write. So if you have multiple installations on your system, you could end up booting the wrong one in the worst case. Also, having a wrong UUID in fstab means that you could never rebuild your initramfs, as that would propagate the wrong UUID there. I actually wonder how your system managed to boot like that before? Every other package in -updates or -security triggers an initramfs update, after all..

When grub menu entry "Ubuntu, with Linux 3.19.0-15-generic (upstart)" is selected, the system boots normally. It turns out that the /etc/fstab uuids for the / and swap partitions are not correct. Once corrected and set to the values from /dev/disk/by-uuid/, booting is possible using systemd. fstab had been edited manually in the past but there were no problems until the upgrade to 15.04.
