 Do you really have the latest git tree (gil pull to refresh)?

 [git clone / git clean -xdf; cd util-linux]

 $ ./autogen.sh
 $ ./configure --enable-libmount-mount
 $ make -C mount/ mount

 # cat /etc/fstab.d/tests.fstab 
 /home/fs-images/ext2.img /mnt/loop      auto    defaults,noauto

 # ./mount/mount /mnt/loop

 # findmnt /mnt/loop
 TARGET    SOURCE     FSTYPE OPTIONS
 /mnt/loop /dev/loop0 ext2   rw,relatime,errors=continue


 # findmnt --fstab /mnt/loop
 TARGET    SOURCE                   FSTYPE OPTIONS
 /mnt/loop /home/fs-images/ext2.img auto   defaults,noauto


 .. so works for me ;-)

 Try 
       LIBMOUNT_DEBUG=0xffff ./mount/mount ...

 to debug the problem.
