process substitution to create a virtual file doesn't work in chroot environment

In a cygwin process that is started either from mintty or bash directly the
following:
$ user=234
$ ./cat <(echo $user)
234
works as expected.
But after a chroot:
$ chroot . ./bash
user=234
$ ./cat <(echo $user)
./cat: /dev/fd/63: No such file or directory
In the directory I am chrooting in, I created a tmp folder, as well as
proc, proc/self, and proc/self/fd, and a dev directory.
Can someone explain why process substitution to create a virtual file
doesn't work in a chroot environment?
Thank you.
