I decided to do a screen recording of weird things that happen in Nemo, because (?) of this situation with bind mounts.

The audio volume is quite low in the first video, and non-existent in the second (because I turned the volume up (!) ), but what I wished to show is the following:

1) Of the eight bind mounts, seven appear under devices under their folder title, the last (Desktop) appears only as the size of the partition holding the folder.

2) All seven mounts listed in 1) refuse to be ejected. The last one asks for a password, and then supposedly ejects the folder, and one line disappears from the Devices.

3) At some point, all of the entries take on the title of the last entry described above (partition size).
The last entry in the list still says (Tooltip) Desktop.
In the past, I believe that as soon as the other entries display the partition size, the system allows them to be ejected (with password).
For the video, and still now as I write, it is still the case that all but the last refuse ejection. Every time I eject one of the directories, there is one less in the devices list, but the last always still says (Tooltip) Desktop.

4) Each "Device", and its corresponding user folder, when clicked upon, work just fine, whether "ejected" or not.

Second video

5) There is some strange disconnect between what is clicked upon in the left pane, and what the status bar states is "selected". After I viewed the first video, even if I clicked on one of the user directories, it still said the filename I had viewed was selected. At some point, after some more clicking on user directories, the text changed to that directory, and remained stuck on the new one after again clicking on other user directories.

6) The notification of the last ejection is still displayed now (10-15 min. later).
I note that it says "Disconnecting from filesystem", as if it was only in the process of ejection, not having finished.
I suppose that the notification, and the disappearance of a line in the Devices list, happens prior to the system finding that it actually cannot "eject" the directory, but no notification or error
message is ever displayed.
Say, I think I will start Nemo up from the terminal, and see if anything useful is printed there,
to supplement what information I have already given.
I will stop here and attach the videos.
