Maybe it depends on used package-manager bud I guess that at least
opkg will refuse to overwrite /etc/fstab provided by base-files by
/etc/fstab from your fancy PN and even if it allows it in do_rootfs, 
then it's not good idea for image with online package management,
because your custom fstab will be overwritten as soon as base-files are
changed.

Why not .bbappend base-files and customize fstab there?
