An update:

We are now using Intrepid's kernel-2.6.27-7-generic and -server, and have stopped having the autofs4 issues seen above (at least so far). For now, we are sticking with Hardy for LTS, but just upgrading to Intrepid kernel images. FYI.

As for backporting, when I tried Colin's kernel, we still had the same lockup, and I haven't tried it since. So, it is doesn't seem to be a universal fix, but we are one datapoint. The autofs4 changes/fixes made in 2.6.26 and 2.6.27 are apparently pretty extensive, so back porting them to the Hardy kernel may not be possible. :( It'd be nice to find the minimal change/workaround for Hardy's kernel.
