Ok...sounds logical.
The warning message about the duplicate inode may be
confusing for those not used to seeing it. I haven't
figured out a way around it (I've had the message for
a long time as I have my 'cygdrive' prefix mapped to "/").

Oh, sorry Brian -- flash update. Have you upgraded in the past

Is there any logic to doing this for /proc and /cygdrive and not
/dev?
The logic is that /dev should be a real directory, to allow stuff like
creating the /dev/log unix domain socket when running syslogd, or for
instance symlinks like /dev/tape -> /dev/st0 as expected by mt(1).
If /dev is an emulated only directory, both of the above examples would
fail.
FWIW, you can have /dev as a real directory populated by virtual devices.
