Yes, its definitely a bug in Redhat's version - a bugzilla comment says 
'Patch added to CVS for the next util-linux package' - as yet, this 
doesn't seem to have been released yet.

It appears that a lot of the changes in their nfsmount.c are based on a 
patch that has been on Trond's site for sometime - 
http://client.linux-nfs.org/util-linux-2.11n.dif.gz (although, not the 
bit that causes it to fail to fall back to NFSv2!)

May be someone on this list from RedHat can help ...
