F13: Unable to mount ntfs-3g, option: 'context=' no longer supported?

Some weeks ago, I have installed F13 on a system
and for some time, I have successfully mounted all
of my partitions as defined in my fstab file.

But today, I have rebooted this F13 system and for some
reason, it was unable to mount any of my ntfs filesystems
with an error message: "ntfs-3g-mount: Invalid argument",
for each ntfs partition defined in the /etc/fstab.

I can manually mount a ntfs-3g partition to /mnt,
I can see the contents and context and every thing
seems fine for this ntfs partition.

I did:

# mount /dev/sdaX /mnt  (it works)
# mount  -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdaX /mnt (it works)
# mount  -t ntfs-3g -o context="system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0"
/dev/sdaX /mnt (breaks!)

The problem is that the context=XXX option is no longer recognized, or
so it seems.

The fstab entry breaks as well for ntfs:

LABEL=Ap1WD1 /md/Ap1WD1 ntfs-3g
context="system_u:object_r:samba_share_t:s0"     0 0


So what is the problem?
