At least map_file will copy the stuff into a new anon mapping and so make it work. quake2 at least runs fully from a "noexec" mounted USB stick.
That should be considered a bug. If you mount it noexec it's because you don't trust the code that it may contain...
Anyway, what kind of warning would you suggest? A FIXME?
No it's not a FIXME, there's nothing to fix. Just an ERR, we already have one for this.
