/media/disk-n disaster: /etc/fstab ignored, all filesystems mounted

FC5test1 recently began mounting all fixed-disk filesystems
as /media/disk, /media/disk-1, /media/disk-2, ... when they
are not listed already in /etc/fstab as being mounted otherwise.

What chain of packages and policies causes this?
How can it be stopped?  This is a disaster for a box
which multiboots older systems (FC2, RH9, RH8.0, ...)
for testing and support.

Ext3 is not backwards compatible with ext3 [itself].
The introduction of feature ext_attr cannot be removed
by tune2fs, and SELinux has been known to spray eagerly
anything in sight.
