Looks like a dead mountpoint, i.e. something is umounting with "mount
-n". But there has to be more factors, becaus if I simply add the
broken line to _my_ /etc/mtab (and optionally additionally mkdir /.dev)
updatedb continues to work fine.

I'd appreciate if you could do these tests:
* remove the "/dev /.dev unknown rw,bind 0 0"-line from /etc/mtab and
reboot into your usual kernel. Check whether the broken line in mtab
is regenerated.
* If the line indeed is persistent make the same test with the older
kernel.
