I see similar behaviour on a FC4 system running 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4smp, in this 
case the problem seems to be (gleaned from strace of /usr/sbin/automount) when 
stating "/home/dir/subd":

read(3, "\4\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\f\214\2\0\10\0\0\0dir/subd\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 272) = 272
chdir("/home")                          = 0
lstat64("dir/subd", 0xbfb6e0cc)         = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

in cases where no error occurs, the same stat gives this in the strace:

read(3, "\4\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\16\214\2\0\6\0\0\0dir\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 272) = 272
chdir("/home")                          = 0
lstat64("dir", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0555, st_size=0, ...}) = 0

so to mee it seems like the kernel is requesting the wrong information from the 
automounter...

Regards

Anders
