I tried your line on my system, and rebooted, and didn't see any problem.

I have:

/etc/systemd/system/getty\@.service.d/numlock.conf:
[Service]
#ExecStartPost=-/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/setleds -D -num </dev/%I'
ExecStartPost=/bin/bash -c "/usr/bin/setleds -D -num </dev/%I"


After reboot I logged in using tty1, here's the output of

systemctl status -l getty@tty1.service:
-----

Post the actual output you get from systemd when is trying to start a
getty@ service, to see what's going on in your machine.
