Comment (by Chris Johns):

 I agree we need a test, there is no objection here. I will look at this
 when I have time.

 The bug is in the eval restart call in the IMFS. When a mount point is
 found the eval restart call clones the root loc. The open code ends up
 calling copy which wipes the clone out. A test is needed to expose the
 leak.

 Putting the test case side, I would like to know if the copy should be
 deep? The test could then check for it being shallow or deep.
