How cute... Same mountpoint in both, so these mount(2) will sometimes
fail (cgroup picks the same sb on the same options, AFAICS) and fail
silently due to these redirects...

That's a lovely way to stress-test a large part of ro-bind stuff *and*
umount()-related code. Could you do C equivalent of the above (just
the same syscalls in loop, nothing fancier) and do time-stamped strace?
