So it seems yet it works for me. If I enable the rc-local.service I get:
"The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be 
enabled using systemctl". Yet rc.local seems to be started when my box 
boots.

I don't know much about systemd but perhaps you could create a separate 
service file in /usr/lib/systemd/system with the proper config to ensure 
there is a display?

There are systemd mailing lists where you could ask:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel

And an irc channel:
#systemd on irc.freenode.org

Happy hunting!
