I'm using a similar setup. I also had the `etc-service-type` when
things broke. I discovered that there's now a
`rootless-podman-service-type`, I switched to that to see if it fixed
the issue. But same problem.
I'm suspecting the change in commit c4298638ca [0], from generating
copies of `/etc/subuid` and `/etc/subgid` to symlinks to the store might
have something to do with the breakage.
