I had this exact same problem with certain services spewing messages 
over my login prompt.

I solved it by adding a slight delay to the startup of the offending 
service.

That is, I created a file like this:

[Timer]
OnActiveSec=30

And saved it as /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/httpd.timer.

See man systemd.timer for further info.
