This bug, as I have seen it, is specifically NFS related.

Your SMB fix very well might have been adding a fully qualified file name for your credentials.

I still believe it is a race between NFS and domain name resolution. In my case, it is using other servers' DNS. A background mount flag will fail, but I might try a foreground, just in case it makes a difference.
