Not always, certainly not historically.
chroot() inside a chroot() just constrained you further.
If fchdir() and openat() have broken that it is a serious
problem.

NetBSD certainly has checks to detect (log and fix)
programs that have (or might) escape from chroots.

unshare() seems to create a 'shadow' inode structure
for the chroot's "/" so at least some of the tests
when following ".." fail to detect it.

I also thought containers relied on the same scheme?
(But I'm too old fashioned to have looked into them!)
