No, because the internal in-memory mount table is in the per-user
shared memory block.  This goes for the global stuff in /etc/fstab as
well, not only for the user mount points in fstab.d.  The name of
this shared memory region is based on the user's SID:

  $ cd /proc/sys/BaseNamedObjects/cygwin1S5-*
  $ ls -l S-1-*
  crw-rw---- 1 Administrators SYSTEM 0, 250 Oct 17 18:46 S-1-5-21-2913048732-1697188782-3448811101-1001.1

That's the one for my user account.  One user, one mount table.  Each
user gets its own.
