I would exclude the possibility of explicit Monit commands on shutdown
or restart, due to the fact that I use a custom (from ground-up)
systemd unit, which besides the usual systemd "incantations" and the
resource limiting highlighted above, just calls `monit -c ... -I`;
nothing else is called on shutdown or restart.

My hunch is that something happens and corrupts the state file, thus
Monit recreates one from scratch;  the initial state of the services
(without a proper state file) seems to be unmonitored, thus the
situation.
