And if you create a file inside /home before starting automount(8) it
will (not so) mysteriously disappear when automount is started.

Why don't you check what mounts you have after automount is started.

That may well answer your question and don't forget to check
if /etc/mtab is a symlink to a mount table in the proc file system.

If it isn't then the autofs file system mounts won't be present
in /etc/mtab but they will be seen in the mount table within the proc
pseudo file system at /proc/mounts.
