This is intentional. /etc/mtab has gone the way of the dodo and is now just a symlink to /proc/mounts. Bind mount origin information is no longer tracked on purpose, as there is no distinction between the bind mount and the original mount; both are equally valid, and neither is subordinate to the other.
