Hahaha!!! Yes, that's certainly something I didn't anticipate. Historically, all local mounts are turned into bind mounts regardless of the options specified. I can't think of an acceptable way to do this and still use bind mounts so we need to consider under what conditions to not mount local mounts as bind mounts. I had a similar report recently and said that people expect that, if a mount is local, it will be bind mounted for to give map independence. So, this is a question for the list.
