I concur. I always make mount point directories 0111,noschg,nodump - it makes
them stand out when not mounted, and also stops accidental directory deletion
potentially stopping a reboot from working.

But yeah, for 20+ years. I've also experienced problems if a mount-point
directory doesn't have +x access.
