i thought so too. this is what karel said: "I'm still not sure if
mount(8) is the right place to fix odd kernel behaviour. Anyway, your
patch seems like a usable workaround.

I'll try to apply the patch later (it will necessary to modify
libmount, because the library is not able to add a new entry to mtab
for MS_REMOUNT requests)."

maybe on could convince the kernel guys to think over the underlying
problem, but i don't have enough insights to do a good enough bug report
and argue with them. i skimmed through the kernel's mounting source, but
it's not as easy understandable as mount itself :)
maybe someone at canoncial could try?
