No, minorversion is not ignored when vers=3.  

Try an invalid (v4) minorversion:

$ sudo mount -t nfs -o vers=3,minorversion=2 server:/export /mnt 
mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified
$ dmesg | tail -1
[ 1734.758101] NFS: bad mount option value specified: minorversion=2

I can understand why this was never a priority, but I find it quite confusing when version=3,minorversion=1 succeeds -- I've fat-fingered that more than a few times, started running tests and only later realized my mistake.

I know it's not just me who's been confused by this in the past :)
