[BRLTTY] Running latest BRLTTY as a user for terminal access

As we've discussed, I set up a systemd unit to run BRLTTY under my user 
identity to provide access to the terminal in Wayland sessions (with 
Orca's taking care of the desktop).

This was working well until I upgraded to the latest version of BRLTTY 
from Git, via the Arch Linux brltty-git package - see the log messages 
below. BRLTTY terminates and does not monitor the terminal.

Is there something wrong with my system configuration?
