Files are created in the /target/run directory

Bug Description

After just installing Ubuntu 18.04, I have some files in the underlying file system under the tmpfs /run mount:
# mount --bind / /mnt
# ls /mnt/run
dnsmasq hplip mount samba utmp
do-not-hibernate lock reboot-required speech-dispatcher
firefox-restart-required lvm reboot-required.pkgs systemd

I assume that Ubiquity doesn't run `mount --bind /run /target/run`, and so files are saved in /target/run during some of the `chroot` commands it runs.

This might be an old bug that hasn't been noticed previously.
