As far as I can see, the init.d/checkfs.sh script just call fsck -A (and a few other arguments), and there is no code in the script to process /etc/fstab. There code in init.d/checkroot.sh process fstab, but should only work on /, so I assume it is not related to your problem. You might try to replace 'read' with 'read -r' in the script and see if it solve your problem, but I doubt it and suspect your problem need to be fixed in fsck or fsck.vfat. Please test and let me know if -r solve your problem. If I do not hear anything in a month, I'll reassign this issue to the package providing fsck.vfat.
