This issue is not fixed AFAIK, and in fact still manifest itself on the latest binary build (1:1.2.8-4) for jessie and sid. The patch to incorporate a -e option to rpc-gssd as mentioned by John Hughes was actually a reasonable workaround, but it was not incorporated. The Ubuntu package maintainers has the patch mainlined since quantal - here's the writeup.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nfs-utils/+bug/794112 It also includes a short discussion on why this behavior has both beneficial and catastrophic consequences. I'll start including the patches I added to 1:1.2.6-3 and 1:1.2.8-4 shortly in the hope that one of the package maintainers will be incorporated.
