The default behaviour should be changed to match the man pages, or (worse) the man pages made to match the default ubuntu action of no_subtree_check. Note that man 5 exports clearly states that 'no_subtree_check' is less secure:
no_subtree_check
This option disables subtree checking, which has mild security implications, but can improve reliability in some circumstances.
