Btw, while you're at it, can you try doing some random writes to that 
thing, since the whole sync mount is quite possibly going to find a few 
other cases like this. 

IOW, _maybe_ you hit the only case that is ever going to be an issue for 
sync mounts, and maybe you didn't. In my eternal quest to never actually 
test anything myself, I'm hoping you can try some writing (and 
over-writing) of files, since writes to the filesystem is where the whole 
"sync" thing is going to show up (both metadata ie file creation and 
removal, and "real" data ie normal write/truncate calls).
