I don't know as squid, named and samba (to name a few) generate many
denials trying to read /proc/sys/kernel/random/boot_id. None of those
are explicitly trying to use the DynamicUser feature. Could it be just a
side effect of how nsswitch.conf is setup by default?

$ grep systemd /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd:         files systemd
group:          files systemd

Maybe you'd prefer this to be reported/discussed in a separated LP?
