Yes, that appears to be the case. I tested the “present” value just to see the 
actual behavior because I thought the documentation must be wrong, but it does 
in fact unmount the thing:

    notice: //Mount[/unixteam]/ensure: ensure changed 'mounted' to 'present'

I don’t understand this behavior. Why on Earth would I want to define something 
in `fstab` that is guaranteed to get unmounted at some random time in the next 
30 minutes?
