My options for actually testing this is rather limited -- I only run NFSv4
one place, and it's in production. The limited testing I am able to do there
was obviously not enough. :-) Still, it's weird that I haven't seen this, for
your analysis looks very thorough (thanks!). Perhaps idmapd was HUPed for
some unknown reason in my case.

The reason I'm a bit skeptical to loading nfsd.ko unconditionally in
nfs-common, since every time I do such things people come complaining to me
that something broke in their setup with no nfsd modules or whatnot.
The alternative is trying to send the HUP to idmapd, which is a pretty
slippery slope (I gave up trying to track these daemon's pids a long time
ago).

I'll do as you suggested -- load nfsd.ko before idmapd -- and then I hope
people won't complain too loudly. :-)
