You're mistaken. Or more properly, further use of chroot lets you walk
out. This really has been said before, and before, and before.
chroot("subtree"); // enter chroot
chdir("/"); // now at subtree
chroot("/tmp"); // now outside of chroot
BSD redefined chroot so that the working directory is set to the new
root on subsequent uses of chroot; that's how they solved the bug.
