This is probably the result of either of the directories being
inaccessable for the user running df.  Can you try this:

  ls -ld /dev /dev/.static /dev/.static/dev

It should pinpoint which directory point is blocking df from accessing
the mount point.  I suspect it is the /dev/.static directory.

I hadn't noticed this myself, but this is a good reason to avoid
listing the mount point /dev/.static/dev in /etc/mtab.
