I don't think this is the case here. You are not mounting an aufs branch
inside another one, but you are moving an AUFS branch into the AUFS
mount point itself. To me, it seems like AUFS and the Linux VFS should
be able to handle that. I haven't tested it though.

What the bug report stated is different: You nested two branches into
each other - if AUFS uses the whole directory as a branch instead of
just the mount point, I can understand why that would fail.
