It's actually not the "dos" mount option but specific filesystems which trigger the conversion from U+0020 to U+F020. However, the conversion back is handled in a piece of code which has no information about the underlying filesystem, so the F0xx -> 00xx conversion is done all the time. Adding filesystem info in this place is really tricky.
