I don't have a firm opinion on this one, but it sounds sane to me.
This will still be a little inconsistent, since live CDs would always automount internal drives (which I still consider a bad thing [1]), while installed systems wouldn't. But I'll get used to it . :-)
Thanks!

[1] Installers need to unmount them again, mounting takes time, and broken file systems really shouldn't be automounted r/w without your consent, it only makes things worse (and you might have booted a live system to repair exactly that). IMHO your huge internal disks should be automounted on demand when you need them, i. e. when you click on the drive icon. It shouldn't really be so much different from the user's perspective when the drive is mounted (at session startup or when you open it in nautilus), but it would avoid lengthy and expensive, and potential dangerous mount processes at session start.
