In your case you would name your mountfile "\x2emntpts-doc.mount". You then also need to escape the mountfile name when starting/stopping it, so "systemctl start \\x2emntpts-doc.mount". The discussion of escaping on the man page doesn't seem to cover this case, but only "-" and unprintable characters. Note that if you have a .dotfile further down the path (so "/home/emergencyshower/.mntpts/doc") it seems to work fine, so this seems only to come into play where you have a dotfile in /.
