We can try to see what is failing by enabling qemu strace.
To do that, I don't know a better solution than using a wrapper.
Once /mnt is mounted, copy qemu-arm-static inside with a new name:
sudo cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /mnt/usr/bin/qemu-arm-org
Then create the wrapper:
cat > qemu-wrapper.c <<EOF
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
static const char *baseargv[] = {
"-strace",
};
int main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp) {
char *newargv[argc + sizeof(baseargv) / sizeof(char *) + 1];
int current = 0;
newargv[current] = argv[0];
current++;
memcpy(&newargv[current], baseargv, sizeof(baseargv));
current += sizeof(baseargv) / sizeof(char *);
memcpy(&newargv[current], &argv[1], sizeof(*argv) * (argc - 1));
current += argc - 1;
newargv[current] = NULL;
return execve("/usr/bin/qemu-arm-org", newargv, envp);
}
EOF
cc --static -o qemu-wrapper qemu-wrapper.c
sudo cp qemu-wrapper /mnt/usr/bin/qemu-arm-static
And then:
systemd-nspawn --boot --directory=/mnt

Title:
Cannot nspawn raspbian 10 [FAILED] Failed to start Journal Service.
Status in QEMU:
New
Bug description:
Hi, I'm using nspawn and asked the question @systemd-devel. They redirected
me to you, guessing that nspawn calls a syscall or ioctl qemu isnt aware of and
can't implement properly?
They were like: "Sorry, that's not my department." ^^
Maybe you can reproduce the issue or help me investigating whats wrong
or put the ball right back into their court? :D
Testscript:
wget https://downloads.raspberrypi.org/raspios_lite_armhf_latest -o r.zip
unzip r.zip
LOOP=$(losetup --show -Pf *raspios-buster-armhf-lite.img)
mount ${LOOP}p2 /mnt
mount ${LOOP}p1 /mnt/boot
systemd-nspawn --bind /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static --boot --directory=/mnt --
