Not to be too nit-picking, but this is not true, as far as I can understand chroot(8) and chroot(2) ;-)
However, since rm is usually statically linked and/or all needed code segments are referenced during rm work are loaded/referenced, this operation finishes successfully (just checked on 4-STABLE and -CURRENT).
... and no, I do *NOT* want to participate in this bikesched color discussion! ;-P
