Thanks for the example, but I don't see how that option name is
misleading.  A "file system" is the thing you create with "mkfs".
Even though normally there is only one mount point per file system,
the fact that with bind mounts there can be many doesn't change
the name of the thing occupying the underlying device: a file system.

I think you want a new option, say --no-traverse-mount-points.

It would tell rm -r not to cross any mount point.  Rm would have to be
able to read at start-up the set of all mount points, or maybe only
the mount points for a given device the first time a new device is
encountered.  Then, it could easily and efficiently test whether each
directory processed is in that set.

I've Cc'd bug-coreutils, so this message will create a ticket in the
issue tracker: http://debbugs.gnu.org/coreutils.
