I just noticed the following text in fstab(5):

mountall is using the documented "proper way" to read this file (the man page even comes with util-linux!) If the proper way isn't compatible with mount, we should definitely fix this in eglibc

(should be trivial to copy any code from mount - it looks like the code was copied from glibc in the first place!)
