When non root tries to umount a directory that has multiple mounts in it, mount dies with this error message. Why is this? Why doesn't it check for the user option and either give the permission error, or allow the umount?

I'd urge you to verify this behavior on the new umount tool. This error message is only thrown by the deprecated umount tool slated to be removed from util-linux between now and 2.25.
