I've troubled some with mounting ntfs-3g file systems with autofs.

AutoFS passes the sloppy option (-s) to mounts, which is actually a valid thing since mount is to behave on all filesystems the same option-whise. Though, the ntfs-3g filesystem does not support it, and fails on it, which it should not. This is in my opinion a misbehaviour of mount.ntfs3g, because it should just ignore the option and NOT exit.

Is it possible to get a fix for this in Ubuntu as the Fedora-Fix?
