I have just tested:

SLES12SOURCE:/usr/lib/systemd/user # mv  basic.target  /root
SLES12SOURCE:/usr/lib/systemd/user # ln -s
/usr/lib/systemd/system/basic.target
SLES12SOURCE:/usr/lib/systemd/user # ls -la
total 52
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root  368 Jun  3 13:06 .
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1382 May 25 17:45 ..
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   36 Jun  3 13:06 basic.target ->
/usr/lib/systemd/system/basic.target
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   26 May 25 17:42 bluetooth.target ->
../system/bluetooth.target
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   25 May 25 17:42 busnames.target ->
../system/busnames.target
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  414 May 17 22:16 default.target
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  499 May 17 22:16 exit.target
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   22 May 25 17:42 paths.target ->
../system/paths.target
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   24 May 25 17:42 printer.target ->
../system/printer.target
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   25 May 25 17:42 shutdown.target ->
../system/shutdown.target
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   26 May 25 17:42 smartcard.target ->
../system/smartcard.target
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   24 May 25 17:42 sockets.target ->
../system/sockets.target
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   22 May 25 17:42 sound.target ->
../system/sound.target
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  547 May 17 22:16 systemd-exit.service
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   23 May 25 17:42 timers.target ->
../system/timers.target

But that did not resolve the issue on next restart.

Any other suggestions?
