Definitely a feature of the shell. And yes, behaviour is correct.

ObUnrelated: last time when I looked into your code in sys/miscfs/unionfs
was _long_ ago and I'm trying to recall how it handles directory renames
on the covered filesystem. I _never_ tried to do that (not even sure that
one can mount unionfs with underlying fs mounted r/w and accessible), but
ISTR that there were problems. And it looks like we may need something
of that kind. Could you comment on the potential nasties that may lurk
there?
