It's not obvious what is happening since you did not report the content
of the directory.
I think it was a race between udevd and the init script due to a too
short timeout, if so it was fixed in a later release.
The code involved is simple, but the side effects are tricky:

  TEMPDEV=$(tempdir)
  mount -n -o size=10M,mode=0755 -t tmpfs tmpfs $TEMPDEV
  # lots of stuff happens here...
  mount -n --move $TEMPDEV /dev
  rmdir $TEMPDEV

(Let me know if you have a better theory...)
