Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
What happens:
1. mount a folder a to point b with the -bind option in /etc/fstab, for example:
/media/data /home/username/
2. reboot and then open nautilus
3. nautilus will show the new mount point in the places sidebar but it will give you an error if you click on the mount point:
Unable to mount MyDocuments
mount: according to mtab, /media/data is already mounted on /home/username/
mount failed
What should happen:
1. nautilus should not show these binded folders since they are well accessible through the filesystem
2. if the mounted folder (e.g. /mount/data) is a block device then it will appear in the places sidebar anyway and thus it is not necessary to show the mount point again
3. if the mounted folder is a normal folder from an existing file system then its accessible both from the original location and the newly binded location, thus the is no need to show it in places again
4. this is quite annoying
Additional Information:

Since they're already mounted, this can't be a mountall bug - it's a nautilus bug for showing them and getting itself confused
