I've encountered a similar issue to https://github.com/docker/compose/issues/4751
I broke down the error in to a minimal setup to reproduce which can be found in this repository: https://github.com/usr42/docker-compose-error-duplicate-mount-point (Just run reproduce_error.sh inside the repo).
TL;DR:
When I define a volume in the docker-compose.yml which was already defined in docker image (with VOLUME inside the Dockerfile) this issue happens then the service is changed and so an update is triggered. I then get following error:
Recreating dockercomposeerrorduplicatemountpoint_svc_1 ... error
ERROR: for dockercomposeerrorduplicatemountpoint_svc_1  Cannot create container for service svc: Duplicate mount point: /mnt
ERROR: for svc  Cannot create container for service svc: Duplicate mount point: /mnt

The service should be upgraded without an error

Thank you for the report and the repro case. I'll look into it!
Thanks for the replay.
Please tell me, if you need more data.
any workarround ?
For me it a docker-compose down && docker-compose up worked. 
@shin- Thanks for fixing the issue.
I've just tested with the newest master version and I can approve that the bug is fixed.
I'm still seeing this issue with docker-compose 1.21.2 and 1.21.1.

@bbrinzer-mvs I cannot reproduce it with my POC. Maybe you should open a new issue, so your issue does not get lost.
@usr42 Thanks for the suggestion, I will do that!
For me it a docker-compose down && docker-compose up worked.
Is there any better solution than this? I encounter this issue with every Compose project with volumes that I've used, and docker-compose down brings down all of my services in the Compose file, including ones that don't rely on volumes.
