Thanks for that hint, that's really useful. Indeed it looks much
better after a successful boot (full log at
http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/tmp/debug-fstab-unmount/journal-works.txt):

So now I have a nice comparison.

I replaced /bin/mount and /bin/umount with a wrapper which logs the
calls to "mount"; nothing calls umount during boot, and in the
successful case I see systemd doing all the mounts, in the failing
case they are completely missing. That indicates that the other thing
that's messing with the mounts is not calling the binary but the
mount() syscall.

So I'll go and search for things which mount() stuff around during
boot. I figure this is something Debian/Ubuntu specific as it would
certainly have popped up someplac else by now.

No, I already disabled both the GPT and the EFI generators, no change.
(And they don't produce actual units either, seems for me the fstab
generator trumps them).

Thanks!
