userconfig.service hangs when using new config menu for flashing

[nilskuhn]

I flashed raspberry pi os lite 32-bit onto a 16GB SD card and booted it on a raspberry pi v4. For flashing, I used the following settings within new config menu (sorry for german language):

After booting, systemd service userconfig.service hangs and blocks some other services from starting. I recognized, because an own systemd service of mine was waiting for multi-user.target. Trying to start it just hang without providing any logs/output on stdout, stderr, journalctl or syslog. Quite annoying ...

Took me a while to figure out what was happening:

pi@<hostname>:~ $ sudo systemctl list-jobs
JOB UNIT                                 TYPE  STATE
104 userconfig.service                   start running
2   multi-user.target                    start waiting
1   graphical.target                     start waiting
117 systemd-update-utmp-runlevel.service start waiting

4 jobs listed.

pi@<hostname>:~ $ sudo journalctl -u userconfig

Sep 22 02:24:25 <hostname>[1]: Starting User configuration dialog...

If I check "Benutzername und Passwort setzen" (english "set username and password") in config setting dialog, the error is not happening.
