No, it is the exact same issue. /.dev is renamed as /dev/.static/dev as
of udev 0.054-3.

* Use /dev/.static/dev/ instead of /.dev/ to keep the root clean and
to not leave around devices with possibly insecure permissions.
This requires raising the versioned dependency on makedev to 2.3.1-77.

You don't really need the bind mount, but don't delete that directory,
or else your system won't boot up any more. Having the bind mount
doesn't hurt anything either. (I think MAKEDEV also wants it around.)
