I guess you meant 208-7. I did cherry-pick the latest changes from
v208-stable branch [1], i.e. everything between
722b7000a9973c9f3460fd5c41dfd613041a0976 and
53b1b6c653258b440bf6ce1a64703dad5b3ab158

I don't see anything obvious which could have changed the behaviour
regarding symlinks and bind mounts.
Would be great if you can run a git bisect to determine the faulty commit.

Thanks,
Michael
