Turns out that the system-wide configuration is copied to ~/.davfs2/ if it isn't present after a user mount. Unfortunately it errors on any "system wide config file only" option present in this location, including the one I introduced.
So the version in Natty (and maverick-proposed & lucid-proposed) now represents a regression. I'm looking to see if it would be easy to develop a patch to silently ignore these system wide configuration options while reading the ~/.davfs2/davfs2.conf file. If timing is tight, then the version in natty should be reverted.
