Comment (by lutter):

 The only other way to work around this then is to overwrite the file in
 place, with the obvious consequences that a partially changed file might
 be visible. It's dangerous, but I don't see any other way to change
 bindmounted files.

 Any opinions on whether that should be done whenever rename returns EBUSY,
 or if it should only be enabled when a special flag (say
 /augeas/save/overwrite_on_rename_failure = yes) is set ?
