That's an interesting one, it's the following assertion (that's gone in .25 btw):

    /* Autobind on cloned rpc clients is discouraged */
    BUG_ON(clnt->cl_parent != clnt);

Which I wouldn't expect at all on an NFSv4 mount. Are you running anything
else on the client, such as automounter, NFSv3 mounts, taking NLM locks,
etc? Not that they would necessarily cause your NFSv4 errors.
