/nix bind mounted from a fs not rootfs.
As niksnut found, if the sources of bind mounted directories are
umounted before remounting them as "ro", a "mount -o remount,ro" on the
bind targets will not leave the filesystem properly umounted, the same
way as a "-o remount,ro" would do on a usual filesystem.
So, the trick of always remounting as 'ro' before attempting an umount seems
to fix the problem.

partition from /. If so, copy the kernels and initrds to /boot and
use paths relative to /boot in the GRUB configuration file. This
makes the boot.loader.grub.bootDevice option obsolete. (Is there a
way to mark obsolete options?) It also makes it unnecessary to set
boot.loader.grub.copyKernels, although that option is still
available since it can speed up GRUB if the Nix store is very
large.

GRUB version changes. (That's the complete version from the name
attribute, not the boot.loader.grub.version attribute.) The current
version is recorded in /boot/grub/version. This is required to
prevent massive breakage when we change the default value of
boot.loader.grub.version to "2".

problem:
Nix only recognizes nixbld users which have nixbld set in extraGroups.
After installation the user was created by activate with group='nixbld'
and extraGroups=[]
After rebooting a conditional shell script fixed this by adding
extraGroups=["nixbld"].
This patches creates the user they way it was in the past with
group='nobody' and extraGroups=["nixbld"].
Another solution would be making nix be aware of the primary group as
well. However this would require everyone to update Nix after updating
NixOS.
