Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/5659

Description

Using private-bin and using -- causes Cannot start application.

Steps to Reproduce

firejail --quiet --noprofile --private-bin=echo -- echo TARDIS

Expected behavior

See TARDIS.

Actual behavior

Cannot start application: No such file or directory

Behavior without a profile

N/A

Additional context

This does not happen with firejail --quiet --noprofile --private-bin=echo echo TARDIS.

Relates to #5599.
Relates to #5598.
Relates to #5605.
Relates to #5606.

Environment

Fedora 37
45a641deab

Checklist

The issues is caused by firejail (i.e. running the program by path (e.g. /usr/bin/vlc) "fixes" it).
I can reproduce the issue without custom modifications (e.g. globals.local).
The program has a profile. (If not, request one in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1139)
The profile (and redirect profile if exists) hasn't already been fixed upstream.
I have performed a short search for similar issues (to avoid opening a duplicate).
- I'm aware of browser-allow-drm yes/browser-disable-u2f no in firejail.config to allow DRM/U2F in browsers.
I used --profile=PROFILENAME to set the right profile. (Only relevant for AppImages)
