I assumed it would have used my current username or simply failed.

The manpage. I quickly browsed through it and missed the note about
using it. When I read it again, I never noticed anything about davfs2
prompting me for the username if it's not provided.
Maybe I overlooked something.

This shows two manpages, you probably want "apropos davfs".

The Internet? What's that? :p
I guess some improvements to the manpage could resolve this bug
report. The usage (output of "mount.davfs" without arguments) could also
point in the right direction.
Otherwise feel free to ignore this peculiar keyboard and chair problem.
