Don't know, but some research that might help.

I found people with problems chrooting if they used a rescue disk that
was a different architecture than their system (32 bit vs 64 bit).

Someone said if they explicitly listed /bin/bash after the chroot
command, it worked, others said it made no difference.

The only solution I found for this on the web was that the file
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive caused a floating point exception.
It isn't clear to me which system it was on.  It looks like it is the
rescue system from the result below.

Result of strace -e trace=open chroot . /bin/bash:

deleting ./usr/lib/locale/locale-archive allows me to chroot.
