What I intended was that find out the kernel function which returns ENOENT as a result of fstat(2). I guessed it was security routine. But it might be wrong since you disabled CONFIG_SECURITY. I didn't intent to solve or dig your delay problem. And I don't know why it is solved. Basically CONFIG_SECURITY is unrelated to aufs (unless CONFIG_AUFS_DLGT is enabled). I am afraid the behaviour of your tail(1) is related to the specification or feature of nfs, too. Will you try unmounting nfs after rmdir in 'Mutt + /tmp+nfs', and see what will happen? Although you may expect an error EBUSY, it may kill your tail process too. Please try it.
