This is a side-effect of my change in busybox 1.22.0-19, but I don't
think that change was wrong.
live-boot-initramfs-tools adds directories under /root to $PATH, which
was formerly harmelss but now actually does result in some commands
being loaded from there. You must stop doing this; it is not
supportable and I will not support it.
In particular, this mount command now invokes util-linux's mount. That
refuses to perform a move if the source filesystem was not mounted from
a block device. There is no good reason for this and obviously it
works with busybox and klibc's implementations of mount.
