In the scenario that you pasted, the same user did everything, which

the only unprivileged action needed was described in the paragraph
explaining the user creating the link, hence the link being owned by "user"
the copy-and-paste was all with root and entered on purpose (but perhaps
not realizing that the /tmp/target was an existing symlink to an
important directory).
executed, then it would play out something like this:
this has no relevance to the problem i'm trying to describe, as stated
above.
perhaps my original message was unclear. perhaps you (and others) are
skimming it too quickly or not interpreting it in the way i'd want. in
either case, i've warned the list against blindly mounting things in
/tmp, and that's all i wanted to do. all done.
