Actually this is not clear: me and other people attempted some more 
conversions and we have not been able to reproduce this anymore: the 
conversion just works as expected with no mid-conversion reboot needed.
So we assumed that whatever the problem was with the systemd bind mounts 
it was "fixed" at some point.

Cc'ing Dimitri John who did some related work on the Ubuntu side and 
maybe has more data.
