So, minutes before seeing this message, on my F17 test system, I did:

$ mkdir /var/log/journal
$ sudo systemctl restart  systemd-journald.service

And now I get

Logs begin at Sat, 29 Sep 2012 09:23:21 -0400, end at Tue, 09 Oct 2012 17:30:59 -0400.
Failed to iterate through journal: Bad message
Sep 29 09:23:21 localhost.localdomain systemd-journal[313]: Journal started

Is this the expected behavor?
