First Boot Wizard runs normally only on the first boot after installation.
However, I have this problem shown by the command
journalctl -b -p err

I reversed the updates with Timeshift. The problem disappeared
Then I did the update again. The problem reappeared.
I am not able to pinpoint exactly which particular package may have
caused the problem. I am using a desktop machine with Asus motherboard
and Intel i5-8400 cpu. My old Lenovo laptop was similarly updated without
any problems.
What should I do?

Thank you!
So I can continue to use the system without doing another Timeshift and
wait for an update?
I have been using Arch Linux happily for 1,5 years - so thanks very much
for the Forum and Wiki, Arch Linux community!

I did use Timeshift once again to get back the system I had a week ago.
Since the bug report seemed to suggest that the problem was related to systemd,
I tried to find all instances of systemd in the list of packages that were to be updated.
Then I asked pacman to ignore those instances:
sudo pacman -Syu --ignore=systemd --ignore=systemd-libs --ignore=systemd-sysvcompat That seems to have solved the problem at least for the time being.
