Here's my guess. To quote bind(1):
When a new file is created in a union directory, it is placed
in the first element of the union that has been bound or
mounted with the -c flag. If that directory does not have write
permission, the create fails.
In your example, you're creating a new union directory by binding "new"
with the -c flag. The union has two directories, and only "new" has
been bound with -c. If you don't have write permission to "new", the
create will fail.
One might expect some other result in the case where the second
argument is not already a union directory, but then again one might
expect the current behavior.
