If I start manually with systemd-nspawn -M name -b, I seem to correctly get a new network namespace (ip link output in container is correct), but ls /sys/class/net shows the host's interfaces. The difference turns out to be that starting with systemctl uses a default command line which includes --private-network; the MACVLAN= in the config file should imply this, but instead it seems I'm getting "half" a private network, with the namespace correctly set but /sys not. Having a quick poke around, I suspect https://github.com/systemd/systemd/commit/60f1ec13ed059e412c2a2ee4cc3093e2d520673c may have 'accidentally' fixed this - it moves if (arg_private_network) arg_mount_settings |= MOUNT_APPLY_APIVFS_NETNS; from parse_argv to verify_arguments which is called later. This bug causes netplan to fail as well as it rummages around in /sys/class/net. If the planets ever align appropriately, I will try to come up with a patch to 237 for bionic, but I don't recommend anyone holds their breath..
