 In my opinion this is not a bug. According to fstab(5) manual page the
 fs_mntops field must contain at least the type of mount:
 
      The fourth field, (fs_mntops), describes the mount options associated
      with the file system.  It is formatted as a comma separated list of
      options.  It contains at least the type of mount (see fs_type below) plus
      any additional options appropriate to the file system type.  See the
      options flag (-o) in the mount(8) page and the file system specific page,
      such as mount_nfs(8), for additional options that may be specified.
 
 Mount types are rw, rq, ro, sw and xx.
 
 Thus "-T" is not a valid fs_mntops field but "ro,-T" and "-T,ro" are.
