Hi, the problem seems to come from gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor. See upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/-/issues/287

There the problem is clearly stated :

....¨The difference with autofs in comparison with ordinary mounts is that the mount always exists (you can see it in "/etc/mtab"), but do not have to be really mounted. However, gvfs-udisks2-volume-monitor thinks that it is really mounted if the mount exists...
Consequently, the following code is called which looks for some files on that mounts (e.g. autorun.inf, .xdg-volume-info), which causes the unwanted automounts for autofs.¨

But no solution for autofs momentarily, the patch proposed caused other issues.
