Hi,
I was recently looking at some issues with libpam-encfs amd noticed that
there were some newer upstream versions available (and that upstream
is no longer actively maintaining it), and in last one I noticed a change
that may be related to your bug report, use fuse lazy umount by default (see
attached patch).
I wonder if that may also deal with your problem.
Cheers,
