Does /proc (/proc/1/root) exist inside the vserver?  Is /proc
available during normal vserver operation?

2 would default to treating the system as a standard system, which
would result in the mount failure you see.  We could default
failure to detect to reporting a chroot being present, which
would be safer for vservers, but equally would do the wrong thing
on normal systems without /proc being mounted.
