Bug Description

I've found some situations where snaps fail to get removed, always happening inside lxd containers.
To reproduce:
$ lxc launch ubuntu:xenial snap-test
$ lxc exec snap-test -- apt-get update
$ lxc exec snap-test -- apt-get -y upgrade
$ lxc exec snap-test -- apt-get -y install squashfuse

Inside the lxd:
ubuntu@snap-test:~$ sudo snap install prometheus-openstack-exporter # This one consistently reproduces the issue
ubuntu@snap-test:~$ sudo snap remove prometheus-openstack-exporter
2018-03-08T15:19:47Z ERROR cannot remove snap file "prometheus-openstack-exporter", will retry in 3
mins: [stop snap-prometheus\x2dopenstack\x2dexporter-24.mount] failed with exit status 1: Job for
snap-prometheus\x2dopenstack\x2dexporter-24.mount failed. See "systemctl status

The prometheus-openstack-exporter snap consistently reproduces, but I've also seen the case with the 'core' snap:
