 The problem occurs with real host name as well as "localhost".
 I used "localhost" in the example in an attempt to isolate this
 problem from other network related issues.

 That seems correct.  When I mount the filesystem with NFSv2 -- as in
 
 	mount -t nfs -o -2 localhost:/  /mnt
 
 this problem went away.   So at least now I have a workaround! 
 Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
 
 Thanks for your help!
