It's actually not the "dos" mount option but specific filesystems
which trigger the conversion from U+0020 to U+F020.

However, the conversion back is handled in a piece of code which has
no information about the underlying filesystem, so the F0xx -> 00xx
conversion is done all the time.  Adding filesystem info in this
place is really tricky.
