Well I have never seen a unix or Linux behave like this.
There is a long-standing unix quirk where it was possible to mount on top of a directory which contained files and thus hide the underlying files.
In this case the O/S appears to have prevented the problem by changing the mountpoint on the fly (though I have no proof of this).
An earlier poster thought this was OS/X and there are clues that this is an Apple Mac of some sort.
What Operating System and version is this?

convmvfs
CONVMVFS(1) General Commands Manual CONVMVFS(1)
NAME
convmvfs - utility that mirrors a whole filesystem tree from one charset to another.
SYNOPSIS
convmvfs mountpoint [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the convmvfs command.
convmvfs is a FUSE (File System in Userspace) utility that transparently mirrors a filesystem tree converting the filenames from one
charset to another on the fly. Only the names of files and directories are converted, the file content remains intact. The mirrored tree is
mounted at the given mountpoint.
OPTIONS
General options
-o opt[,opt...]
mount options
-h, --help
print help
-V, --version
print version
-h, --help
show summary of options
FUSE options
-d, -o debug
enable debug output (implies -f)
-f foreground operation
-s disable multi-threaded operation
-o Mount options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated list of options. The following options are recognized:
allow_other
allow access to other users
allow_root
allow access to root
nonempty
allow mounts over non-empty file/dir
default_permissions
enable permission checking by kernel
fsname=NAME
set filesystem name
large_read
issue large read requests (2.4 only)
max_read=N
set maximum size of read requests
hard_remove
immediate removal (don't hide files)
use_ino
let filesystem set inode numbers
readdir_ino
try to fill in d_ino in readdir
direct_io
use direct I/O
kernel_cache
cache files in kernel
umask=M
set file permissions (octal)
uid=N set file owner
gid=N set file group
entry_timeout=T
cache timeout for names (1.0s)
negative_timeout=T
cache timeout for deleted names (0.0s)
attr_timeout=T
cache timeout for attributes (1.0s)
srcdir=PATH
which directory to convert
icharset=CHARSET
charset used in srcdir
ocharset=CHARSET
charset used in mounted filesystem
NOTES
If you use a normal user account to mount the file system be sure to have r/w permissions to /dev/fuse.
Use iconv --list to see which charsets are supported.
To allow other users to access the mount point use allow_other option.
IMPORTANT: if the mount point and srcdir point at the same directory, readdir call will enter a dead loop. BE SURE TO AVOID THIS SITUA-
TION!
SAMPLE USE
to mount:
$ convmvfs /ftp/pub_gbk -o srcdir=/ftp/pub,icharset=utf8,ocharset=gbk
to unmount:
$ fusermount -u /ftp/pub_gbk
