Welp, that looks like it:

# strace busybox mount /debugfs-test
...
stat("debugfs", 0x7fffc05d3d60)         = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
mount("debugfs", "/debugfs-test", "debugfs", MS_SILENT, "auto") = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
write(2, "mount: mounting debugfs on /debu"..., 66mount: mounting debugfs on /debugfs-test failed: Invalid argument
) = 66

This does not appear to be unique to debugfs:

# grep tmp /etc/fstab 
/dev/loop0	/tmp/xfs	xfs	auto 0 0
# strace busybox mount /tmp/xfs
...
mount("/dev/loop0", "/tmp/xfs", "xfs", MS_SILENT, "auto") = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
write(2, "mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /t"..., 64mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /tmp/xfs failed: Invalid argument
) = 64

# dmesg | grep auto | tail -n 1
[ 1931.471667] xfs: Unknown parameter 'auto'

This looks to me like a busybox flaw, not a debugfs bug (change in unknown
argument behavior notwithstanding...)
