See the bugzilla report:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10349

I'm still waiting to hear back from Meelis, but to me this looks like an
am-utils bug.

AFAICS, am-utils advertises a binary NFS mount structure version of '6',
to the mount() syscall, but internally they only initialise the
equivalent of a version '4' structure.
When
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git&a=commitdiff&h=f9c3a3802119a2d30f3e4a69aef30a81e09d0209
was merged, then this failure to initialise the selinux 'context' field
causes mount() to return an EINVAL.

Cheers
Trond
