Hmm, same thing here:

# grep "/ " /etc/mtab
/dev/hda9 / reiserfs rw,noatime 0 0

# grep "/ " /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / reiserfs rw 0 0

# mount -o remount /

# grep "/ " /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / reiserfs rw,noatime 0 0

During a normal boot an ext2/ext3 root partition gets remounted: 
first it gets mounted read-only in case it needs to be fschecked, 
and then remounted read-write.

I've changed the bootscripts to skip this double step, with the 
unintended effect of not getting all options applied.  (Fixed now.)  
Maybe you did too?
