Joe,
Is this a dual-boot machine with Windows? Why would the /boot and /boot/efi
partitions be formatted with VFAT instead of the usual ext4?

I can now reproduce the issue by formatting 2 partitions with FAT file systems
and mounting one on top of the other with your mount options:
[root@emperor /]# mount -o umask=0077,shortname=winnt /dev/dm-3 /fattest
[root@emperor /]# mount -o umask=0077,shortname=winnt /dev/dm-4
/fattest/fat2test
[root@emperor /]# mount
/dev/mapper/vg_skerchi_sys-LVRoot1 on / type ext4 (rw)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,rootcontext="system_u:object_r:tmpfs_t:s0")
*/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext4 (rw)*
/dev/mapper/vg_skerchi_sys-LVHome1 on /home type ext4 (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
*/dev/mapper/vg_skerchi_sys-LVtest1 on /fattest type vfat
(rw,umask=0077,shortname=winnt)**
**/dev/mapper/vg_skerchi_sys-LVtest2 on /fattest/fat2test type vfat
(rw,umask=0077,shortname=winnt)*
[*root*@emperor /]# df -h

...
/dev/mapper/vg_skerchi_sys-LVtest1 8.0M 4.0K 8.0M 1% /fattest
*/dev/mapper/vg_skerchi_sys-LVtest2 248M 4.0K 248M 1% /fattest/fat2test*
[*user*@emperor ~]$ df -h

/dev/sda1 485M 35M 426M 8% /boot

/dev/mapper/vg_skerchi_sys-LVtest1 8.0M 4.0K 8.0M 1% /fattest
If the mountflags on both vfat partitions are set to umask=0022 (drwxr-xr-x) or
umask=0066 (drwx--x--x) the error goes away. If the umask is 0066, the
directory cannot be listed by ordinary users, so perhaps that can pass the
security requirements for your organisation...
Cheers,
Tony
