You'll have to ask your system libraries that question, since it is them
that are querying /proc.  Your extra chrooting is forcing even the
root-level actions (socket connections, etc) to be chrooted, not just the
user actions (transfers and such).  So, either the libraries have changed
in what they decide to look for in the environment or an additional library
call in the more modern rsync is triggering that check.  Nothing in rsync
uses /proc.

[Bug 10724] rsync 3.1.1 creates extra dirs inside --backup-dir

In rsync 3.1.x the backup logic was improved to ensure that older, conflicting
files/symlinks couldn't cause problems in a new backup.  For instance, if a
file changed to a directory (and was backed up) and then later a file needed to
be backed up in the new path, the lingering file that now needs to be a
directory caused rsync to die.  The new logic is to ensure that every dir that
exists in the transfer is now a directory in the backup area.  This logic could
be amended to instead ensure that any conflicts are removed, and the dir
creation delayed until needed.
