Today I've checked in Xenial with autofs 5.1.1-1ubuntu3.1. So far it seems to be working here as well. I would guess this bug is fixed then.

The problems applies in both Breezy and Dapper. EDIT: confirmed with similar configuration on Intrepid with a NetApp filer hosting NFS. Server OS removed from summary. When I first try to access the mount point via cd or in Konqueror it does not exist. However, if I then restart autofs (/etc/init.d/autofs restart) everythin then works OK.
