Cool!
In the meantime, I digged a bit more, and it seems that it is because with
misc-device support, autofs uses the AUTOFS_DEV_IOCTL_ISMOUNTPOINT ioctl
to check whether something is a mountpoint, which returns 1, which causes
the code in umount_multi to decude it cannot be symlink and unmounting it.
Indeed, rm /dev/autofs before starting autofs makes it partially work (the
target dir is not unmounted, but the entry is still gone without ghosting).
Upstream probably already knows this, of course.
