Oh dear, yes, it looks like I lost track of this one.

The problem is that we don't really know what the issue is yet. Some
have hypothesized that it's due to SELinux, I suspect the problem is
NFS. Perhaps there are multiple issues. More information about the
environments under which this is observed would certainly be helpful.

If someone could describe their environment I would be happy to
try reproducing and investigate.
