I tested out on another system (a test box), and this is apparently normal LOFS behaviour.
Q. Is this normal behaviour for LOFS mounted filesystems? If I mount x on top of y, and create a mountpoint z that uses x as part of the directory name, will I not be able to access the mountpoint z by using y as part of the directory name?
A. Yes. To be able to access mountpoint z for a different filesystem that uses either x or y as part of the pathname, z will have to contain the pathname x when it gets mounted. Then you can access it via either /x/z or /y/z.
