It doesn't entirely fix the issue for me, instead we've got even weirder
behaviour:

root@cubox-i4:~# ls -al test
ls: cannot access test: No such file or directory
root@cubox-i4:~# touch test
root@cubox-i4:~# ls -al test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 1 01:01 test
root@cubox-i4:~# echo foo > test
root@cubox-i4:~# ls -al test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4 Feb 1 01:01 test
root@cubox-i4:~# cat test
foo
root@cubox-i4:~# rm test
root@cubox-i4:~# echo foo > test
-bash: test: Operation not supported
root@cubox-i4:~# ls -al test
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 1 01:01 test
