Yes, when you're only entering the mountns you should see uid 1000 as
that's what that {g,u}id is mapped to in your namespace and you've
opened __and read__ that file from the same namespace.

(Now, if you were to open that fd and send it back to a process running
in the container and that process does the read it would still see 1000.
But that's ok, because we care about the opener's creds.)
