One can catch the authorizationexception and return the correct error: NFS3ERR_ACCES to fix the error message on the client side but that doesn't seem to solve the mount hang issue though. When the mount hang happens, it stops printing nfsserver log which makes it more difficult to figure out the real cause of the hang. According to jstack and debugger, the nfsserver seems to be waiting for client requests -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
