I did, see below.

Filesystems are exported ro, all mounts nfs3,ro,tcp.

Without --union:

mount -t nfs 10.1.0.4:/nfs/system /mnt -oro,nolock,vers=3,tcp
OK

mount -t nfs 10.1.0.4:/nfs/profile /mnt -oro,nolock,vers=3,tcp
-EBUSY (as expected)

mount -t nfs 10.1.0.3:/nfs/profile /mnt -oro,nolock,vers=3,tcp
 (notice different IP - but it's the same machine)
Works, just overmounts /mnt, ls shown contents of /nfs/profile

Now, --union:

mount -t nfs 10.1.0.4:/nfs/system /mnt -oro,nolock,vers=3,tcp
OK

mount --union -t nfs 10.1.0.4:/nfs/profile /mnt -oro,nolock,vers=3,tcp
-EBUSY (/mnt busy or already mounted)

mount --union -t nfs 10.1.0.3:/nfs/profile /mnt -oro,nolock,vers=3,tcp
 (notice different IP - but it's the same machine)
mount command works, ls Oopses:
