I updated my laptop to openSUSE 12.1 over the weekend, so tried it.  It
didn't work, so I tried setting JoinControllers= as well.  That split up
cpu and cpuacct, but didn't stop cpu from being used.  I then moved both
system.conf and user.conf to /etc/systemd/save, and got the original
setup back.. not surprising given everything was commented out in both
files to begin with.  The little bugger is stubborn.
