Arg, yes.  Confirmed on my system.

This is due to "plain" chroots not being session-capable, so we
don't really create a session, we just return the chroot name
as the session name.  This breaks with the separation of the two
namespaces.  NB. while the commit you mentioned is the fix which
caused the breakage, it was only working by accident before--it
should have broken earlier and this commit fixes that.

I think the best fix is to create a compatibility alias in the
session namespace so that all "plain" chroots automatically
get a session created for them, or at least a proxy for a real
session.

Quite busy finishing my PhD work the next two weeks, but I'll see
if I can get it fixed before then.

Roger
