I am not saying that this SELinux's fault.  But if a filesystem got
mounted in a "stealth mode" that something may get "helpful" and
will add for you bits-and-pieces which you never wanted there in 
the first place and which will mess up that filesystem for original
purposes.  That is one of reason why an indiscriminate mounting of
everything which looks like mountable is really bad.
