It seems like the upstream commits to fix this may have made journalctl --flush 
flaky and/or introduced other regressions:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/12230#issuecomment-491593897

Additionally, the fix upstream is not a trivial backport and has the potential 
to cause even more problems for SRU releases.
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/12230/commits

As this bug is rather limited in scope (only systems with /var or
/var/log mounted separately from /) and the only potential issue I see
is /var isn't cleanly unmounted, it seems like backporting the upstream
fix may bring more problems than it solves.

Possibly there is some simpler workaround we could add for SRU releases,
but it would take some more investigation.  I'm removing myself as bug
owner here, so possibly someone else can investigate, in case I'm not
able to get back to this.
