... what do you mean?

In general, of course it can be broken by
setting the variable to something that isn't
consistent with the human/computer notion of
what is a filename.

Specifically, the present value is already
broken with respect to these filenames, for
example:

    $ cd /lib/systemd/system
    $ ls | grep @
    autovt@.service
    container-getty@.service
    getty@.service
    ifup@.service
    saned@.service
    serial-getty@.service
    ssh@.service
    systemd-backlight@.service
    systemd-fsck@.service
    systemd-nspawn@.service
    systemd-rfkill@.service
    usb_modeswitch@.service
    user@.service
