I beg to differ - this is a bug (albeit a bit of a touchy-feely bug with little hard data). Probably kernel related more than anything (lots of small files being opened/closed, causing excessive interrupt load/busy waiting). Possibly even the SATA disk/drivers doing bad things (haven't looked at the guts of that part of the kernel).
Further information: If the evolution process is killed off halfway through the synchronisation, the nfs server recovers and allows connections again. This suggests resource starvation. What's particularly bad in this case is a userspace application is starving the nfs kernel server. Not your typical situation, but somewhat scary if multi-user systems are considered. Of course if it's related to bad hardware then there's nothing anyone can really do. However, since I have no other indications that the problem is hardware related (no kernel log messages screaming out at me, no funny sounds from the HD) I think this is just an issue with balancing the system. Reducing the load evolution puts on the system would be the workaround/fix. I'll leave this as invalid, but if I find any other cases where evolution is resource starving my machine, I'll reopen. I'll also test this out on the next release when it comes out.
