After further investigation, it turns out that mount is actually handling the options correctly and passing the options (with x-* options removed) to mount.cifs. The problem is that mount.cifs ignores those passed options if the user running the mount command is not root, and just grabs the options from fstab without removing the x-* options. So the problem is actually in mount.cifs that it does not correctly handle x-* options (and probably doesn't handle "comment=" options correctly either).
