Yes, Solaris 10 does nice helpful things that other OSs don't do.  I 
use per-user ZFS filesystems so I encountered the same problem.  It is 
necessary to force the automounter to request the full mount path.

On Solaris and OS-X Leopard client systems I use an /etc/auto_home 
like

# Home directory map for automounter
#
*       freddy:/home/&

which also works for Solaris 9 without depending on the Solaris 10 
"feature".

For FreeBSD (which uses the am-utils automounter) I figured out this 
horrific looking map incantation:

* 
type:=nfs;rhost:=freddy;rfs:=/home/${key};fs:=${autodir}/${rhost}${rfs};opts:=rw,grpid,resvport,vers=3,proto=tcp,nosuid,nodev

So for Linux, I think that you will also need to figure out an 
indirect-map incantation which works for its own broken automounter. 
Make sure that you read all available documentation for the Linux 
automounter so you know which parts don't actually work.
