You might want to consider using a boring mount script for the VE that
puts a small, limited 'tmpfs' into /tmp on that system.  That might
allow you to bypass the direct disk requirement -- and has the bonus
that whatever junk hosted sites dump into /tmp doesn't hang about
forever.

Also, I trust you are already aware that noexec doesn't actually prevent
storing and running any of the scripted exploits in /tmp:

  /bin/sh /tmp/i-is-a-leet-haxer.sh

Regards,
        Daniel
