This is not PAM-related (and I'm unsure if your problem is), but
making the new fs root directory owned by a non-root user is a
security hole.  You don't buy any security by setting up a chroot jail
like that, but rather you introduce a named -> root security hole.

If a library would refuse to work in such a setup, I'd view that as an
advantage.
