Cliff, when you boot with systemd (using kernel line: init=/lib/systemd/systemd), it seems the newest package systemd-shim and cgmanager are not fully installed (configured). This is why you can still boot with systemd.
However, if you first boot with upstart (do not use the kernel line: init=/lib/systemd/systemd), the new systemd-shim with cgmanager can be fully installed (configured). After this you may not anymore be able to boot with systemd.
