I filed an upstream bug about this, since we are still seeing it happen in the wild. I think the real fix should be for nmbd to notify systemd as soon as it's up and running, instead of when an interface is available. Because nmbd already has a loop where it waits forever for an interface even after it started up, i.e., it dynamically adapts itself.
