Just for the record:

Notice the MS_MOVE up there? This means that the source directory is moved there, thus the old root is (lazily) unmounted.
Unmounting a tempfs causes the files to get freed.
So in fact there is no problem.

This is not the case. mount("a","b"), no matter the flags, will never unmount "b". It just mounts "a" over the top of it: unmounting "a" will show you "b" still sitting there.

Inspecting /proc/self/mounts should show you this as well: both mounts are still shown, mounted in the same place.
