Actually, connect(2) is what is presently being done and part of what
causes the breakage.  From mount_nfs(8):

     -c      For UDP mount points, do not do a connect(2).  This must be used
             for servers that do not reply to requests from the standard NFS
             port number 2049.

Unfortunately, I don't believe that even this option will help, since
the problem is that the server is replying from an address that the
client has no way of knowing represents the same host.  But it may be
worth a try.  (This option can also be accessed through the deprecated
syntax `noconn'.)
