If it were my system, I would be very concerned. Something doesn't look at all right.
What do you see if you peek under the /home mount point?
Code:
mkdir /mnt/tmproot
mount --bind / /mnt/tmproot
ls -lA /mnt/tmproot/home
umount /mnt/tmproot
That "ls" command should show nothing. It should be seeing the empty mount point directory that is in the root filesystem.
