It should be reproducible on any version of autofs and any kernel, if I understand correctly what is causing it. But, the real gotcha is stat(2) or statfs(2) are often accompanied by other system calls that will wait for the mount to complete. The mount can complete sometimes before but also sometimes after, and possibly independent of system call order (due to scheduling) so the problem should be intermittent and appear unpredictable.
