Which mount version are you using? 'dpkg -S =mount ; mount --version' I'm using mount of package loop-aes-utils and did not notice the mentioned behaviour.

$ dpkg -S =mount dpkg: *=mount* not found.
$ dpkg -S mount ncpfs: /usr/bin/ncpumount smbfs: /usr/share/man/man8/smbmount.8.gz os-prober: /usr/lib/linux-boot-probes/mounted [...to much hits...]
$ mount --version mount: mount-2.12r
