This is intentional.  /etc/mtab has gone the way of the dodo and is now
just a symlink to /proc/mounts.  Bind mount origin information is no
longer tracked on purpose, as there is no distinction between the bind
mount and the original mount; both are equally valid, and neither is
subordinate to the other.

Title:
  bind mount produces incorrect entry in mtab

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 15.04
  mount:
    Installed: 2.25.2-4ubuntu2
    Candidate: 2.25.2-4ubuntu2
    Version table:
   *** 2.25.2-4ubuntu2 0

  System has LVM on SSD standard install ext4 filesystem. (/dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root)
  mdadm RAID5 3 disks, btrfs filesystem (/dev/md127p1)
  RAID5 is mounted at /mnt/raid at boot.
  ---
  Bind mounts only display the device mount, not the from directory.
  The mount works, but the mtab entry is incorrect.

  # From LVM device, to LVM device.
  mount -o bind /home/rfoos /srv/nfs4/homes
  # From Raid device, to LVM device
  mount -o bind /mnt/raid/var/lib/libvirt /var/lib/libvirt
  # With corrected fstab entries (below) mount -a does work
  mount -a

  --- /etc/mtab entries
  /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root /srv/nfs4/homes ext4 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,data=ordered 0 0
