Maybe different mount(8) behavior on your system?  (probably symlinked to /proc/mounts)

On RHEL6:

# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/test
# for I in `seq 1 10`; do mount -o remount,noacl /mnt/test; done 
# mount | grep sdb1
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/test type xfs (rw,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl,noacl)
# uname -a
Linux hostname 3.12.0-rc4+ #41 SMP Fri Oct 11 19:43:01 CDT 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
