Yeah, I know of this one: this occurs on *mountpoints*. Dump
saves the mountpoint but restore compares against the root 
directory of the mounted filesystem (because it is impossible
using standard syscalls to access the original, now hidden
mountpoint.

The reason you didn't get this with older versions of restore is 
because older versions of restore didn't even bother to compare
directories *at all*. Now that restore does, we have this special
case of mountpoints, and I'm not sure what's the best solution here.
