Quantal shipped with "old" util-linux 2.20.1-5.1ubuntu2.

This bug is serious as it can render the system unbootable, see 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/1012081/comments/5

Human user does not expect to make its system unbootable just by
following graphical tools and "disabling automatic mount option" for a
data partitions (without changing any other settings).

Furthermore, this scenario is likely to happen to other users that are
tech-savvy enough (e.g. about partitions) but new to Linux. Their Ubuntu
no longer boots, maybe days after they changed that option. Such bad
scenario will make some users extremely disappointed by Ubuntu.

Waiting for util-linux to be upgraded may not be an option. Disabling "x
-gvfs-show" in gnome-disks seems IMHO safer.
