Ok, looking into what's going on here. As far as I can tell:

This bug isn't specific to udev, it's in fact a problem with the use of `mount
--bind` which udev uses.

To replicate, try `mount --bind $somedir $someotherdir` this should make the
contents of $somedir appear in $someotherdir, it will also place an entry in
/proc/mounts similar to:

/dev/root /mnt/other ext3 rw 0 0

Now in my example (using `mount --bind /home/b /mnt/other`), instead of having a
'.dev' directory in place of Filesystem, I now have a 'other' directory.
