I don't agree that the problem is small.

The FIX is small, but the problem is big: it basically means that the
/net map is completely unusable in Hardy, for any environment where
filesystems are exported with different permissions to different sets of
hosts.

As I mentioned above, this is an extremely common situation in
Enterprise environments where you have dedicated fileservers/NAS boxes:
you typically export them without root squash to one box, for managing
the content (since you don't want to log into the NAS box to do it), and
WITH root squash everywhere else (to ensure root-owned files are not
overwritable by any random client).

Since Hardy is an LTS release one would assume that it would be
particularly recommended for Enterprise environments and more sensitive
to these sorts of bugs than a "normal" Ubuntu release.
