I did a quick test, things are shared locked as expected.

However, I found the following:
        if ((xmp->nullm_flags & NULLM_CACHE) != 0) {
                mp->mnt_kern_flag |= lowerrootvp->v_mount->mnt_kern_flag &
                    (MNTK_SHARED_WRITES | MNTK_LOOKUP_SHARED |
                    MNTK_EXTENDED_SHARED);
        }

are you using the "nocache" option? it has a side effect of xlocking
