From mount(8):
(iii) Normally, only the superuser can mount file systems. However, when fstab contains the "user" option on a line, anybody can mount the corresponding system.
Thus, given a line /dev/cdrom /cd iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide any user can mount the iso9660 file system found on his CDROM using the command mount /dev/cdrom or mount /cd ... The owner option is similar to the user option, with the restriction that the user must be the owner of the special file. This may be useful e.g. for /dev/fd if a login script makes the console user owner of this device.
That is: the syntax is "owner", not "owner=...". Also, this is an option handled by mount, so kernel version should play no role.
However, 2.6 does more strict option checking, and complains about unknown options, while 2.4 in many places just ignores them.
