I have a similar problem: my binary mounts will spontaneously
become text mounts. I'm pretty sure that this problem
plagued me on earlier releases too. It has become
annoying enough that I finally kluged my rclock (from the
rxvt package) to check my mounts every 10 minutes (instead
of checking my mail) and signal an alarm if they are
text rather than binary.
I would welcome a "real" solution the the problem...
