To explain why my trick worked...NFS server doesn't know about execs; at that level, it's just getting file read RPCs.  So there's nothing for NFS server to enforce.  The client could enforce, but not if the NFS implementation doesn't communicate named attributes (and the NFS protocol doesn't support chflags() flags).
