I'm top posting because I think people have read enough. My sudo policy only allows me to test this;
$ /usr/bin/sudo /sbin/mount_msdos -o nodev,nosuid,noexec /dev/sd0c /mnt/usb0 and I get mount_msdos: /dev/sd0c on /mnt/usb0: Inappropriate file type or format So I see no problem and Being able to force a system to do weird things can be useful anyway. As a side note and for people to be aware, I have seen BBB resets and hangs followed by hangs and crash dumps sometimes self initiating but especially when the usb is unplugged without waiting for it to settle down. This has occurred on 4.6 stable and now a july snapshot but only with some usbs like 8Gig microsds (4.6), a cheap 128mb disk (4.7 july) and a usb to ide (2.5inch) converter (4.7 July). The funny thing is I had no problem with these on a snapshot from a little before the 4.7 release date. I thought it was one particular laptopwhich was the worst for it, but I've had it happen on 3 different systems, 1 desktop and 2 laptops. I haven't said anything till now because I want to do some testing and comparison and don't have time right now (only affects some usbs, some of the time anyway), but I figured it's best to air it even if there's little to go on right now, in case anyone else has had this happen.
