You really mean the other entries in the fstab are causing the
permissions of /dev/pts to be changed?

yes, converting the chroot mounts into binding solved the issue.

 

In that case given the issue is due to a user misconfiguration, I guess
we should just try to detect it, display a note and fail the
installation.

yes, I think this would be reasonable.
