I=E2=80=99m happy to report that this is finally fixed, in commit
ae763b5b0b7d5e7316a3d0efe991fe8ab2261031.

>From now on, home directories of non-system users are created when the
=E2=80=98file-systems=E2=80=99 Shepherd service is up, i.e., when all the f=
ile systems
have been mounted.

Let me know if you spot anything wrong!
