And the fact it's "special" makes this *unexpected* behavior.  Are there
any other filesystems where -o values will persist across an unmount
and then take effect *even if no -o is given* on a subsequent mount?

Yes, it may be what the code actually *does*, but it certainly violates
the Principle of Least Surprise...
