I think the cause of this failure is the wrong mount option you
are using.

should be:

sudo mount -t overlay -o lowerdir=/tmp/a:/tmp/a0 overlay /tmp/merged

Comma is used to separate different mount options. Overlayfs use
colon as the separator between lower directories.

I don't know if it is a correct resolution for your problem. You
can try it first. It's OK in my environment to mount ovl with
numbers in directory name.

Anyway, I think overlayfs should print an error message if an
incorrect mount option is caught like other filesystems.
