systemd-homed status prevents kodi-gbm from starting

I maintain kodi-standalone-service to allow users to start kodi from a systemd service (standalone application).  It has come to my attention that, on a fresh Arch install, starting kodi-gbm.service will end an error which I cannot resolve without commenting lines in /etc/pam.d/system-auth.  Does anyone have some ideas as to what is missing?

% systemctl status kodi-gbm
○ kodi-gbm.service - Kodi standalone (GBM)
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/kodi-gbm.service; disabled; preset: disabled)
    Drop-In: /etc/systemd/system/kodi-gbm.service.d
             └─override.conf
     Active: inactive (dead)
