It appears that at least once when I did this I had shot myself in the foot.
Please check to see if the kernel thinks root was mounted twice.

What appears to have happened to me was that when I booted with the
esata device powered off, the esata device was /dev/sdc.  When I booted
with the device powered on, the _root device_ became /dev/sdc.

And rather stupidly, I mounted /dev/sdc as my backup device.

If you can see if that's what I did here, then the bug is that it let me
mount root twice, or that I'm stupid.  Take your pick.
