Hm.  It looks like it may just be this:

static struct accessmap nfs3_diraccess[] = {
    {   NFS3_ACCESS_READ,       MAY_READ                        },
    {   NFS3_ACCESS_LOOKUP,     MAY_EXEC                        },
    {   NFS3_ACCESS_MODIFY,     MAY_EXEC|MAY_WRITE|MAY_TRUNC    },
    {   NFS3_ACCESS_EXTEND,     MAY_EXEC|MAY_WRITE              },
    {   NFS3_ACCESS_DELETE,     MAY_REMOVE                      },

    {   0,                      0                               }
};

So it doesn't claim write is allowed unless exec is also allowed.

I think that's actually how the local filesystem behaves--is there
any operation you can do locally with only write permissions?

Why is this behavior a problem for you, anyway?
