tftpd isn't that smart a program, it would never notice a symlink,
it does some stat() calls (no lstat()) and the options it uses with
open() (for reading/writing/creating) are entirely mundane. There's
no reason it would even notice that RW is a symlink rather than just
being a directory.

Possibly, I was kind of hoping that umounting the overlay would not
need to touch the underlying filesystem at all, there's no reason
it should need to (particularly if given -f).

None.
