I am testing on a VM, and the race is kinda hard to trigger. Mounting of /var needs to be delayed somehow, for example, by an fsck. In my case, bug #579858 trigger an fsck on reboot, which make the race happen somewhat reliably.
After updating the nfs-common and portmap packages to the one in lucid-proposed, statd start reliably. So, for my synthetic test-case, it works perfectly. I am not going to set the bug verification-done just yet, as I think it would be best if it was confirmed by someone with a real-world test-case.
