The problem does not appear on Fedora using autofs 5.0.5 so it looks like this is an Ubuntu specific bug.
Please note that the description for this bug report is misleading as autofs doesn't do failover (as far as I know). However it is supposed to be able to automaticaly choose an available server from a list of replicated servers at mount time.
