Unionfs is broken. See the BUGS section of "man mount_unionfs".
Here a snippet from it:
     THIS FILE SYSTEM TYPE IS NOT YET FULLY SUPPORTED (READ: IT DOESN'T WORK)
     AND USING IT MAY, IN FACT, DESTROY DATA ON YOUR SYSTEM.  USE AT YOUR OWN
     RISK.  BEWARE OF DOG.  SLIPPERY WHEN WET.  BATTERIES NOT INCLUDED.

As such, reports for problems that you encounter when not using unionfs are
far more useful, imho.
