I was using a custom unshare binary. But I will update the command
line to be similar to the one in util-linux.

You need to provide "-o __DEVEL_sane_behavior" flag. Inside the
container, only unified hierarchy can be mounted. So, for now, that
flag is needed. I will fix the documentation too.

Please try with "-o __DEVEL_sane_behavior" flag to the mount command.
