I see this problem quite often. I have a CentOS 5.2 x86_64 system with 
autofs-5.0.1-0.rc2.88, kernel 2.6.18-92.1.6.el5xen. Automount maps are 
distributed by NIS, and I have explicitly set BROWSE_MODE=no. I see that:

* after an inactive mount times out, an umount is performed, but the mount
   point that was created is never removed, leading to:

* if the NIS map is changed to point the same key to a different location,
   a "df /foo/bar" _always_ returns /foo, and then /foo/bar (correctly) a
   few moments later.
