This is probably related:

"It is useful to disable this on machines with the root file system in NFS until ifup from ifupdown work proberly in such setup."
I did not research this problem to root cause but on the surface it appears that it is related to your issue.

Right. That is a bad side-effect. Instead the client should block and wait for the server.

I thought you were talking about the sync/async option. See this reference for more information.

I think this would be covered by the 'initscripts' package. You may want to look to see if this is already reported in the BTS.
