I added an iSCSI LUN to be visible to my server, restarted the various fiddly bits that cause that LUN to suddenly become visible, causing a / dev/sdb to suddenly become /dev/sdc.

The "symlink" inode isn't, itself, mountable, so mount traces it down to the final block-device inode and mounts that. When the symlink later changes to point to some other device, the mounted filesystems don't change because the symlink itself isn't what is mounted.
