By the way I came to a "dark" point : how does systemd knows that he is started in fallbackmode ?
Likely, something is broken with your fallback initramfs.
Booting from the fallback should be no different than booting from the normal initramfs. The fallback simply doesn't apply the autodetect hook, so it does not try to exclude unnecessary modules.
The fallback is typically useful if you have a disk that you might want to move to another machine with different hardware. It is just not machine specific like th normal one.

Maybe the OP is mixing the *fallback* initramfs with the rescue/emergency boot options. They are orthogonal and only the latter ones ask for the root password.
