I tend to have much better luck mounting things below.
On my machine, /local/src is the clean sup'd source tree, and
/usr/src is where I do all the compiles.
% mount -t union -o -b /local/src /usr/src
^^^^^
or, fstab entry:
/local/src /usr/src union rw,-b 0 0
^^^^^
% mount
<below>:/local/src on /usr/src type union
I have used this setup for months w/o problem.
Cheers,
Phil
