Hi,

The mount command is filesystems agnostic, it doesn't know nor care which
filesystems are supported by external commands and which ones by the mount
syscall. So if there exists a file called mount.$fstype mount will try to
execute it, if it fails mount would call the mount syscall.

If it fails mount returns a return code indicating it.

This is the expected behaviour and the mount command, and it's simplicity makes
it flexible (lets say the next kernel release manages vfat mount without an
external helper command, ... )

So, I think we should close this bug.
