I see this issue on all kernels.
Currently I'm using vanilla v3.9.x and v3.10.

To me it looks like the capability system behaves odd.
The mappings in /proc are fine as long I do not call capng_updatev().
Also calling capng_updatev() with parameters that do not change the current cap 
set
triggers the odd behavior too.

So we see two (related?) issues:
1. If we try updating the capabilities of pid1 /proc/1/ has unmapped files till 
we exec().
2. Dropping  capabilities does not work we always gain a fresh and full 
capability set.

BTW: I'm sure the issues are not caused by Gau Feng's userns patches.
