That path is as the process performing the mount sees it?

It's the "we are in init's mount namespace" that I was wondering about.

So if I naievely chroot, nfs mount stops working the way it did before I 
chrooted unless I do an extra setup step?

I'm actually poking at getting nfs mount working in LXC containers with 
different network routing (mostly study so far, it took me a couple 
weeks just to get lxc to work for me and now I'm trying to wrap my head 
around Linux's NFS implementation), so I'm very interested in this...
