It is by design.  If you were to mount the root of a Data.fs, you'd be
mounting an Application object with no ID.  This would play havoc with the
pseudo-filesystem.

The correct solution is to make it so folder objects do not contain their
own ID (but rather determined by the parent folder) and make Application
objects go away, replacing them with simple Folder objects.
