I am experiencing the same problem with TimeShift v17.2 on Linux Mint 18.
I installed Docker and experienced some issues later that needed me to rollback to a restore point with Timeshift but noticed my snapshots were also in /var/lib/docker/aufs. I was able to do what the OP wrote by making a symbolic link to /timeshift to get access to my old snapshots to roll back to before I installed Docker.
But I do need to use Docker.
Am I to do something particular to apply your fix mentioned on 2017-01-21?
I have been using Rsync snapshots but you alluded to BTFRS being better for docker. Does that mean I need to switch over to BTFRS snapshots once installing docker?( I am new Linux user so I am really not too sure the difference between the two)
