Surprise. This time everything was mounted ok after the restart. Unfortunately I didn't make good notes what I had done after I noticed the initial problem nor can I tell for sure how the boot sequence was different this time. But the candidates are:
1. It may be that I had changed the owner of the mountpoints from root to a user. Maybe the owner impacts the mounting behaviour. 2. It may be that just before the system start where I had had the mount problem I had used the USB as a boot device. Maybe my PC hardware has a HW fault that leaves the USB in an unnormal state in system restart. I will tell more if the problem reappears. Anyway, see the gvfs-mount -li output below.
