I don't think this will work. I just tried to do it and I could still
execute files in the mounted dir. I thought that per-mountpoint noexec
flags were in the kernel, but I can't find any definitive information on
it and fs/namespace.c is not the best information source either. (Anyone 
knows why this doesn't work? It would be really neat.)

The other issue here is that the user still can execute files through
/home/tmp. So you should --move the dir instead of bind-mounting it.
