Subject: Fun with looping binds over proc

Good day!

First, let me show how it looks and feels on my system:

Some extra data points:

1. Exchanging the two umounts results in expected behavior
2. Exchanging the two umounts absolves the need in 'mount --make-private --make-unbindable dir/rec'
3. I don't see it on 3.12.something Ubuntu kernels
