Thanks for checking.  I'll have to have a further look to see what's
different between the two types.

Since this is actually two bugs relating to -b not creating session
files: 1) block-device, now fixed and 2) block-device with unions,
which is still outstanding, I'm cloning this into two separate bugs
so they can be tracked independently.
