Well, that is a hint whether the unit file was loaded properly. It can
happen that a running service has an invalid unit file (i.e. you started
service with a valid file, then edited and reloaded the config file), so
the "load" state is independendant of the runtime state. That said, we
probably could suppress this column for services which loaded fine
(which should be the usual case)
Better mark them off-band somehow (i.e., a extra column (normally empty, no
header) that shows failures/abnormal cases).

Well, its empty if there's nothing started or being stooped right now,
or is waiting for some dependencies to start/stop. It will be empty if
your systemd started up completely, because there is nothing to do.
Ditto.
