This was mentioned in unrelated bug about util-linux, #906797, comment https://bugs.gentoo.org/906797#c4 This seems like upstream issue https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/issues/2238, for which there's been no discussion or fix yet. mount(8) still says "This option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by subsequent options, as in the option line user,exec,dev,suid)." So it's apparently still intended that setting user,exec explicitly should not be mounted as noexec. This is probably good enough reason to keep util-linux-2.39 masked even after #906797 is fixed.
Thanks Hank! Re keeping 2.39 masked, that was my exact thinking.

We'll keep it masked until 2.39.1 at the very least. But I've pulled in the fix anyway.
