Assuming you have a way to reproduce this, to the NFS client maintainer - see the file MAINTAINERS in the kernel source.
But I just tried to reproduce this on 2.6.7-rc2 (it's what my workstation happens to be running) and I can't. I can mount an nfs-exported /dev from both 2.4 and 2.6 servers read-only and I can open devices on that read-only mount just fine.
