Forget I said that.  I just ran:

for sz in 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 15 16 17 31 32 33 63 64 65 127 128 129 511 512
513 1023 1024 1025
do
  umount /tmp
  mount -t tmpfs -o -s=${sz}m tmpfs /tmp
  df | grep "/tmp"
done

And got all the right sizes.  My fstab line is also producing a
correctly-
sized (according to df) tmpfs /tmp.  I'm not sure what I was seeing the
other night, and didn't take proper notes at the time.  Until and unless
I can reproduce it I think we're back to having no confirmed sightings
of the bug except on i386.

Sorry for the confusion,
