This sounds like a good workaround for the bug in 'network-manager'. I'll test it and send you a message to see if this fixes the problem. On the same principle it might be better to move the /etc/init.d/umountnfs(.sh) script to /etc/network/if-down.d/ and take those parts unrelated to the network file systems and create new script like 'umountvfs' for virtual filesystems (or integrate it in another existing one if possible).
