As I have /usr on a separate partition, following your instructions 
solved my issue (the filesystem was not mounted at boot).
With a live CD, I edited /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and added usr shutdown to 
the HOOKS line, then chroot, following the wiki, and run mkinitcpio -p 
linux.

Now I can login my box :-)

Maybe this workaround could be added to the Archlinux home page news : 
systemd-tools, as it could avoid this issue to all users with a separate 
/usr ?
