Hmm, AFAICS the aufs mounts are not unique volumes, at least they show

They're the same baseline filesystem, but aufs lets you merge filesystems and redirect writes so they're logically different. (And, presumably, they may consume storage differently in other cases than yours and someone may want to see that via df.) I'd assume that they've got different device IDs (stat -c %d /mnt/whatever) unlike bind mounts, which are exactly the same filesystem. (df uses the device IDs to determine which filesystems are duplicates.)
