fstab mount with option "nofail" not working

We need for our schroot environment a few initial mounts. This mounts are configured in the schroot config fstab file with the following parameters:

#/yocto-build /yocto-build none bind,defaults,nofail 0 0

Important for us is the option "nofail" because there are some temporary mounts which must not exist. This "nofail" option is working as follows with no errors as expected:
sudo mount -o nofail,bind /NOT_EXISTING_DIR /mnt

But with the configured option in the fstab for schroot the following errors appears:
E: 10mount: mount: /var/lib/schroot/mount/jessie/yocto-build is not mountpoint or bad option
E: 10mount:
E: 10mount: In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
E: 10mount: dmesg | tail or so.
E: jessie: Chroot setup failed: stage=setup-start

There are no relevant syslog or dmesg entries...
