OK, great.  So I'm not going crazy, after all.  ;)

Would you care to share?

I think that would require one or two new command line options to
9pfuse, to pass "-o dev,suid" to fusermount.  (fusermount defaults to
"-o nodev,nosuid".)  Come to think of it, 9pfuse should probably offer a
general way to pass mount options to fusermount, as a matter of
indirection.

That could work, if I also wanted to archive everything under /tmp (and
all the other temporary files peppered about Unix file systems).
