Hmm. I am able to repro the behavior with attached test case and with
CLONE_NEWPID removed. Ran this in a chroot shell and it shows complete
path. I tried on Ubuntu 8.04 (2.6.22-15, which has no pid namespace
support).

	$ mount /dev/sda3 /tmp/target
	$ chroot /tmp/target
	$ ./pid_namespace_chroot2
	/proc/self/exe is /tmp/target/tmp/pid_namespace_chroot2

set_mm_exe_file() call from flush_old_exec() sets 'mm->exe_file' to
'linux_bprm.file' and proc_exe_link() picks it up from there. 

Could this be related how linux_bprm.file is populated after chroot ?
I have not traced that yet.
