--- Comment #7 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@gmail.com> ---
Tests to triage this bug 291559 and 2016 bug 207150 have been repeatedly
mind-bending. 

Apologies for the repeated to-and-fro, I now lean towards (again) treating this
as a duplicate of 207150. 

emaste@ any thoughts? 

tl;dr I changed the title of 207150 today after discovering that: 

A/ pool names such as 'sys' or 'COPYRIGHT' can lead to
   extraction failures during installation

   and

B/ pool name 'sbin' can lead to failure after booting 
   an apparently successful installation. 

I was disinclined to make Yet Another Bug Report™ for the 'sbin' example …
