You wrote this:

This almost certainly means that you have a corrupted file system.
NOTIFY YOUR SYSTEM MANAGER.
The following directory is part of the cycle:
'a/b'
4 a
Does the latter mount command arrange to add a line to the
one-line (root-only) /etc/mtab ?
To me, it looks like the *lack* of a line for the a/b mount
is the problem. When you remove the symlink the mount command
does not update the regular-file /etc/mtab, so mount-listing
code cannot see that a/b is bind-mounted.
