I've reproduced this, and I'm seeing the same problem as you. The crux
of the issue seems to be name resolution, as I see autofs log messages saying
"automountd: server localhost not responding", and "automountd: self_check:
unknown host: localhost" daemon.debug messages, which show the reason localhost
isn't loopback mounting is name resolution.

I also see the same things you are - "getent hosts localhost" works, but
pinging it fails with "unknown host". Interestingly, "telnet localhost 7" (with
echo:stream enabled) succeeds in resolving localhost to 127.0.0.1 and
connecting, so I'm going to try and determine how telnet's name resolution
differs from that used by ping and friends. This may point us at the real
source of the problem.

What I find weird is I can't see how anything location application does could
cause these problems. I'll keep digging though.
