I just spent too many hours re-triaging and re-discovering bug 851970, in which systemd + PrivateTmp does weird things with namespaces, thereby making it impossible to unmount filesystems under certain circumstances.
851970 was closed NEXTRELEASE, because:

Ok, so, Lennart? Our current Fedora has a borken systemd. Can you please help fix it?
If not, I'd propose removing PrivateTmp=true from all F17 services as a workaround, and/or
ignoring it in systemd so this doesn't crop up again.
Thanks,
-Eric
