Wouldn't this fix that problem?

Is it getting *cleared* at boot time?  If not, it could screw up
mount...  Red Hat's rc.sysinit contains the following:

    # Clear mtab
    >/etc/mtab

    # Remove stale backups
    rm -f /etc/mtab~ /etc/mtab~~

Make sure your system is running something similar on boot.
