Scenario:

Root fs is on /dev/hdc1 (ext2)
/home/win is on /dev/hda1/linuxfs (standard file on vfat partition)
/mnt/win (/dev/hda1) is automounted by automount (just a simple 'cd /mnt/win')

Do:
losetup /dev/loop0 /mnt/win/linuxfs
e2fsck /dev/loop0 (just to be safe)
mount /dev/loop0 /home/win

Then initiate shutdown and you will be greeted to "/ is busy" and a full e2fsck
will result on next boot. :(
