Would you be satified if there were some way to test the local defined
configurations without having to plugin in a device?  A way to ask
fstab-sync to report the fstab entry it would create? Would this sort
of test tool be enough to provide clarity to admins who are trying to
reconfigure their systems?

This confuses me... you're saying that the fstab entry for the device has "exec"
but after you mount the device the mount command is saying its mounted
as "noexec"?
Or are you seeing an selinux interaction here?
