I think that's not enough....

The upcall was made earlier, and the kernel has cached it (even if it's
a negative result).  So, just to make sure, could you try:

killall rpc.mountd
exportfs -f	#flush the kernel's caches
rpc.mountd	#(the patched version)

and then try again?

Of course, I may be barking up completely the wrong tree here, but I
think that bug in mountd could explain the problem you're seeing....--b.
