Stew,

It would appear that you can successfully remount /tmp with 
nosuid,noexec,nodev options very easily (I can also duplicate this).  
But my issue is with what occurs during a full Cold Boot (or init 6).

This is the exception where I cannot get mount to use the options in 
/etc/fstab.  Can you duplicate this?  Or did you simply use the remount 
option for /tmp?
