Aha!

"getent hosts <ip>" returns the FQDN of the server for two of the three IP 
addresses (the exact same string as the server name in the map), but the 
FQDN _and_ the unqualified name for the third IP address. This was because 
of the setup of the NIS hosts map. On removing the NIS hosts map, and 
using DNS alone, autofs now does bind mounts properly. Interestingly, this 
NIS hosts map had been like this for a looong time, and I had forgotten 
about it; it did not cause autofs4 any problems. Thank you!

Steve
