That's not an anomaly or a problem. The result of those two lines is that under $MOUNT/home-public there are 2 directories - public and home (so I get $MOUNT/home-public/public and $MOUNT/home-public/home). Note thatthat's exactly what happens in $MOUNT/system which ends up with boot, etc, root and several other directories.
