That's not really a supported configuration, AFAIK.  While /etc/mtab
and /proc/mounts are obviously similar, they're not identical, and
you've run into one of the results.

That said, I really can't fathom why mount wants "vers=3" but refuses
to accept "v3", while the kernel only reports "v3".  It seems like a
pointless inconsistency.  Why not have mount accept "v2", "v3", and
"v4" as synoyms for the corresponding "vers=" values?
