1) Are you running this container unprivileged?

2) Have you tried creating the container using the -t fedora template?

The error the OP was showing was a SEGV (11) in systemd.  He did not
specify how he created the container, or how he was running it (priv /
non-priv).  A SEGV in systemd would be pretty serious.  It would seem to
be an executable conflict at a pretty deep layer.  I guess it would also
be good to know what the host kernel version is as well.
