I did a little debugging, and the problem happens because krb5-kdc.service fails to start with:

systemd-invoke will try to run systemctl like this:

systemctl --quiet --system restart krb5-kdc.service

which fails because of the problem mentioned above.

I don't think this is a problem with init-system-helpers, but rather an issue with krb5-kdc indeed. Also, I believe it's worth reporting this bug to Debian, since they suffer from it too.
