In the past I agreed with you, but lately I have been more convinced that it is a logical error. There is nothing that will prevent someone from doing this if local policy says to allow it, but I think the default policy should be that local/global mismatches are disallowed. This would make it simpler to set up a condition where the policy is 'file mount is only bound to local', node X only has a global address, therefore X is not allowed to export a file system.
