I can add some assumptions :-)

The update will likely not change the issue - the mount type and
provider have likely not seen much action for a couple of years, code-wise.

The root cause for the erratic behavior is likely the fact that the
ensure property of the mount type is schizophrenic insofar as to try and
sync both the mounting state as well as the content of fstab.

The former likely works, but the latter crashes and burns because the
leading space breaks the fstab parsing.

I cannot yet think of a reason for the agent to oscillate between these
behaviors, but it appears "sort of" plausible, or thinkable at least.

Cheers,
Felix
