Bug Description
Binary package hint: autofs
If you install autofs and enable /etc/autofs.smb, you can list SMB/CIFS shares with ls /smb/servername, but you can't mount them. Instead of a meaningful error message, ls /smb/servername
You can detect this loop in autofs.smb by checking whether $key contains a '/', but I don't know how to make it emit an error message. A simple echo to stderr did not work.

In my case installing smbfs does not solve the problem. Is this the same bug or should I submit a new one?
