mkarchiso; randomly fails

I randomly have some issue with mkarchiso:

mount: /home/ente/Projects/archibot/archlive/work/x86_64/airootfs/proc: proc already mounted on /proc.
==> ERROR: failed to setup chroot work/x86_64/airootfs

This error occurs only sometimes. It seems unpredictable. I can restart the same process whithout any changes and it may succeed (assuming that I clean up the mounting issue). The cause seems always to be that sometimes it's too slow to unmount certain pseudo file system. I packed the build process into a script which cleans up all mounting issues. This way I can restart the process within a second. Quite often it succeeds already on the first restart.

What could cause this?

Please use code tags, not quote tags for terminal output.

Mod note: not a pacman issue, moving to NC
