Ah yes, I misunderstood. This bind-mounting trick actually allows for a simplification to the whole procedure I listed earlier. Everything is working now. We previously added support to util-linux-ng's switch_root utility to execute that procedure for the case when the target root is not a mount point. I'll submit a patch to revert that and instead note this trick in the manpage. Thanks for your help!
