i suppose your preferred behaviour would be for it to do a treewise merge of the paths and vac the shallowest root that contains all the paths, missing out all contents that aren't under one of the named paths. this seems like quite an involved operation, when you can get much the same result by building a custom namespace containing the trees you want (admittedly, a recursive mntgen would be useful here).
