I don't believe your line is incorrect. I'm using build 117 with nfs/server disabled and my auto_home line reads:
* localhost:/export/home/& Admittedly this spews some noise into the messages file every so often, but it has worked since I first installed OpenSolaris b86 (or whatever the first release was). I do recall having problems initially with the automounter when I specified usernames explicitly (I don't recall the details), so I fell back to the wildcard spec and all has worked OK since (apart from the messages file noise, which I can live with for now). I never investigated this further to log a bug. Hope that helps as an alternative workaround, and IMO, this is an automounter bug.
