I think i did,maybe you missed it.

Let me repeat.

It is a BAD idea to mount a user provided volume with "suid" options. Any mount tool that does this is using mount tool in a BAD way.I think i have said this already.

TrueCrypt is mounting a user provided volume with "suid" option and hence TrueCrypt is using mount command in a BAD way.I think i have already said this.

This is not a problem unique to TrueCrypt.It is a problem that will exist on any mount tool that uses mount command in a BAD way.I think i have already said this too.

Your second answer will solve the problem.It will solve it by filtering out a BAD TrueCrypt mount option.Another way to solve the problem is to modify TrueCrypt source code and add the good option.The modification of the source code is an appropriate approach since it will solve the problem on everybody.

Your second answer will also solve the problem while you insist that "there is no problem to solve as TrueCrypt is doing things the correct way".This kind of talk is commonly known as "double speak".
