Well, depends how you look at it. One way is to say, "as soon as we have
a mount, we are acting as unionmount, and focus on that."

But that's not the only option. In the non-transparent case, one could
also see the mount as just another part of the union. (In fact, it would
be possible to do several mounts in this case...) And if we look at it
like that, I'm not sure whether it's best to exit when the mountee (or
one of the mountees) goes away?...
