We would probably need to add some log prints to get more information. Where does the map come from, is it network based? If it is and you use NetworkManager, have you checked to see if automount is starting up during NetworkManager initialization? In the log you show why do we see automount shutting down, then starting up, you say the problem is at boot but the example log doesn't show an error at boot? And, did you check if /home was already mounted after the shutdown and before that startup in the log.
