I think I know why you were unable to recreate the problem. It appears to
only occur in attempt the test case from a directory contained within the
aufs mount point, and not the base of the mount itself. In fact, if the
directory you are in exists in all branches, the problem does not occur. I
have verified that this problem does not occur when the underlying
filesystes are all ext4, but it does occur when they are all btrfs.
So to reproduce the problem, I do this:
mount -t aufs -o br:/mnt/vol0=rw:/mnt/vol1=rw /z
mkdir -p /z/foo/bar/baz
cd /z/foo
rm -rf bar
ls
The ls results in 'ls: cannot open directory .: Stale file handle'
This is using a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.10 in a VM.
I can try building a new aufs module, but I will need some directions to get
that started.
If it would be helpful, I can figure out have to give you ssh access to this
VM if you want to provide me with an SSH public to add.

Thank you very much.
Other testers are also welcome.
The first debug patch I will ask will be the one in
