> I'm not sure if it doesn't auto-mount due to clock skew or not,
Well, this is exactly the diagnosis given in the message you linked to.
So if it's clock skew, it must be a bad system clock, or a bad clock
value in your BIOS clock.

That's not surprising, if the clock is being set from NTP immediately
afterwards. This could happen because the /etc/network/if-up.d/ntpdate
script which sets the clock also does this in the background, so if you
have a bad system clock and are getting the time from the network,
there's a race condition and the clock may not yet be set by the time
the attempt is made to mount the share.

I take this to mean that you're no longer able to reproduce the problem.
The contents of the ntp package do certainly indicate a race condition,
so there's a real bug; but without further information about why this
was causing problems for you specifically, the theory is that this only
happens with a broken BIOS clock, so is a low priority to fix.
