Next thing to check seems to be:

systemctl status systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service

Make sure it hasn't been disabled or masked, I suppose.  The unit file
contains this command:

ExecStart=systemd-tmpfiles --create --remove --boot --exclude-prefix=/dev

So, I guess make sure yours has that too.  But hopefully you'll discover
that it's been disabled or something silly like that, and then you can
just enable it.
