autofs works as expected, it does not provide any contents itself, instead it
intercepts all requests and put them on hold until the actual filesystem
is mounted. I wouldn't expect anything else.

I'd say the case we are discussing is an extremely rare corner case for
autofs and I'd rather expect requirement for autoconf 2.70 be accepted
in libc (-; before any kernel developer accepts a patch for autofs.
