It is the same thing the ebuild tries to do so any error messages would give us a hint what is happening. Also, check the output of dmesg | tail after executing the command.
If there is a bug, it is in the mount-boot eclass, not in the memtest86+ ebuild. Reassigning.

It may be nice if you warn users about that. Thanks!
yes, i think this a bug in util-linux
putting journal= options in /etc/fstab makes no sense. dont do it. review the upstream mailing list for more info.
