6.15 allowed mount propagation to destinations in detached trees;
unfortunately, that breaks existing userland, so the old behaviour
needs to be restored.
It's not exactly a revert - original behaviour had a bug, where existence
of detached tree might disrupt propagation between locations not in
detached trees. Thankfully, userland did not upon that bug, so we
want to keep the fix.
