I've tried with both your packages and mine - I get the same behavior,
but you're right that it's only for union chroots. Without unions,
schroot -b works on type=block-device chroots.

However, union chroots of type=directory /do/ work - it's just a
problem for chroots that are both union chroots and type=block-device.
