Because your mounting under a different location (via a symlink), when
ZFS mounts the volumes it doesn't spot that there is a dependency there.
This results in /usr being mounted after the volume under /home which is
a symlink to /usr/home hence the volume /usr shadows / hides the one
mounted under /usr/home which was mounted first.
