This seems to be fixed with 5.0.1rc3.

However, it is impossible to create new directories directly under mount
point, which is quite problematic for creating new users home directories:
[root@etoile ldapscripts]# mkdir /home/dir/foo
mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/dir/foo': No such file or directory.

no-root-squash NFS option is set, so it is not a write permission
problem. Moreover, the problem doesn't exist if /home/dir is manually
mounted.
