Confirmed for Karmic, mlocate 0.21.1-2.
It appears "-e" is always assumed for non-native filesystems:

- "mlocate" will correctly find non-existing files on an ext3 filesystem, and correctly suppress them with "-e" enabled.
- for vfat filesystems (and probably ntfs-3g, too?), non-existing files are *always* suppressed. This is not only the case for individual files that have been moved/removed, but also if the filesystem is unmounted.
