I've reproduced this with my freshly made "links" snap (in the store @ revision 1). After rebooting I saw this:

The snap is not registered in snap list (other snaps were not registered as well, I had many snaps prior to reboot)

zyga@zyga-thinkpad-w510:~$ snap list
Name Version Developer
ubuntu-core 16.04.0-24 canonical

The mount unit for the snap I've installed looks like this:

zyga@zyga-thinkpad-w510:~$ systemctl status snap-links-1.mount
● snap-links-1.mount - Squashfs mount unit for links
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/snap-links-1.mount; static; vendor preset
   Active: inactive (dead)
    Where: /snap/links/1
     What: /var/lib/snapd/snaps/links_1.snap

I don't see anything in syslog yet.

I can confirm this. It looks like the apps which are sideloaded are not part of 'snap list'.

Syslog has a few obvious failures for snapd related to the fact that the snaps did not mount correctly.
