Yup. I've just spent a while abusing test cluster machines, and it
appears that there are some cases where mount will complain about a dirty
filesystem and mount it anyway. There are also some cases where mount
will *not* complain about a dirty filesystem and *still* mount it.
I'll be submitting a rerevised patch for this shortly.
