I never got it to work in 20.04, so I don't know whether your fix ever made it in.

I have just installed Jammy Jellyfish (22.04), and can confirm snaps don't work in it when using autofs and nfs mounted home directories.

The prior work around was just never use any snap applications, which was OK as nothing important was in snaps prior to 22.04.

This is harder in 22.04 as firefox is distributed as a snap, and so firefox doesn't work in 22.04 if you have autofs NFS home directories.

Work around is to use a different source for firefox, https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2022/04/install-firefox-deb-ubuntu-22-04/ but I don't know whether that will get security updates as quickly, so this is a serious problem.
