I don't run mine under systemd, however; If I run through the same install process as above, on a machine that has systemd installed I get the same error as you IF I don't have the USB module plugged in when I attempt to start it.
So, is yours plugged in when you do the install or attempt the restart? If it is plugged in, I'm out of ideas as googling "owserver.service: Failed with result 'protocol'." doesn't turn up much that appears relevant.
