I am running using a docker ubuntu container with CAP_SYS_ADMIN
(for test-container) enable some tests, so there is no direct usage of 
systemd-nspawn.  Although the bug does seems related, the current
namespace does contain the /proc mount and I tried to change the test
to mount the procfs after support_become_root (and before the
support_enter_mount_namespace in child process); but at least on my
environment it continues to fail with EPERM.

In any case, I think splitting the test does seems an improvement since
it split the test with one that uses and another that does not.  I will
rename the test as Florian asked and send a newer version.
