Well, RHEL7 libmount based mount(8) behaves differently than the original mount(8) from RHEL6. Unfortunately, it does not ignore malformed fstab lines, this bug affects mount, umount, findmnt, lsblk, swapon and swapof. Note that RHEL7 does not use "mount -a" during boot (systemd handles this). Fixed in upstream tree, commit 1cd9d0d7463850ef6b16a78b8a55e56dbf9a8db1 (and optionally also 1bb02a2da9f1bf7d80b352d540b29371099ab570).
