I'm seeing this message quite often with one Linux 2.4.7 system automounting another. As long as A has B's filesystem mounted, all is ok. Then A times out, unmounts, and later wants to remount B's filesystem. Then, sometimes, I see a message much like yours.
It doesn't seem to need a reboot to cause this problem, and the fix I have found is to kill and restart the NFS server: /etc/init.d/nfs restart.
I have no idea why it happens, or why restarting nfsd or mountd fixes it.
