/dev/fd is inside /dev, and /dev is a symlink.

My /usr and /var are symlinks, and I get tons of errors like the above,
referring to every subdirectory under /usr and /var.

Perhaps this is a bug.  I would like to get warnings about the symlinks
themselves, but have mtree deal with the subdirectories more sensibly.
