I would love to help here but I still don't have real device.


BTW, the mount --move look like the way but I am not sure if busybox allows it. If not, it is possible to use '-o bind', that's how it is done with /tmp in previous tablets because /tmp already has critical files/sockets there (bme, dsme). After pivot_root is done and /sbin/init is exec-ed in new root, there is 'mount -n -o bind /mnt/initfs/tmp /tmp' in /etc/init.d/rcS for previous tablets.

Not sure about N900 but maybe there is something important in /tmp (or elsewhere) too?

Other filesystem (/proc, /sys, /dev/pts ...) can be simply mounted again and old versions unmounted when no longer needed.
EDIT: it should not be needed to to any such changes, please ignore all in italic above and see later post

BTW, I managed to extract N900 firmware image and checked /sbin/preinit etc. but still having the device would be invaluable here.
