It may have something to do with the fact that MMC's are by default 
using the FAT filesystem.  If you don't use noexec, it assumes 
everything's exec (since there is no exec attribute in FAT), which makes 
files copied from MMC act weird and try to execute instead of opening, 
at least on a desktop linux machine.
