[vserver] Are bind mounts to outside the /vserver base a security risk?

If I have my chroot barrier set on /vserver and then bind mount (for
some reason) something from /var/xxx into a vserver, does this then
offer an (accidental) way to break out of the chroot using some kind of
".." attack on the bind mount?

Cheers
