I had changed the mount options for the volume containing the source and object code to 'user,defaults'. For some reason that turned off execute

Yes, as it is written in the man page for mount for the option user and users:

This option implies the options noexec, nosuid, and nodev (unless overridden by subsequent options, as in the option line user,exec,dev,suid).

permission on the entire volume, without notifying ls of the fact. So

ls doesn’t know about mount flags. The file attributes are not changed by it. If you mount a filesystem read only, ls will still show you the w-bit.
