This happens because map_basic() strdups the strings. Other code in systemctl
assigns strings to UnitStatusInfo without copying them, relying on the fact
that the message is longer lived than UnitStatusInfo. Add a helper function
that is similar to map_basic, but only accepts strings and does not copy them.
The alternative of continuing to use map_basic() but adding proper cleanup
to free fields in UnitStatusInfo seems less attractive because it'd require
changing a lot of code and doing a lot of more allocations for little gain.

(I put "leaking" in quotes, because systemctl is short lived anyway.)
