This is a seperate issue, if you dont select the config option "shell
applets always win" the busybox shells should run the real /sbin/mount
rather than the busybox version.

There is a bug in busybox ash where it always runs the busybox command
if it exists, there is conditional code that tries to make ash do the
right thing but its not correct.

The easiest way around this problem is to compile busybox without
applets that you dont intend to use. (but it should be fixed in busybox)
