You are talking about different things.
"mount -a" will mount everything that is not mounted yet.
This `not mounted yet' test was improved in 2.10m, so
that also cases where mounting by label or UUID was involved
were handled correctly.
What you are dissatisfied with is that a recent kernel will
happily mount one filesystem many times, even on the same
mount point. Yes, that will have to be fixed, in the kernel.
