The second issue is that systems that update to systemd-253~rc1-1.fc38 seem to get stuck on boot. With Plymouth enabled you just see the splash screen. With it disabled (or by pressing esc) it seems to be stuck at "Stopped initrd-switch-root.service - Switch Root.". I'm still looking into this one, but it's happened to a lot of openQA tests and I was able to confirm it first try in a local VM, by installing from the 20230123.n.0 compose then updating systemd and rebooting. Fresh installs with the newer systemd seem to be OK, at least most openQA tests for the new compose passed - it seems to be only updating an existing install that has the problem, at least so far.
I've now filed this as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2164594 .
