--- Comment #1 from Chris Atkinson <cwa at pipeline.com> ---
I was able to get it to work by escaping the leading ".". 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 /.
