Bad word choice on my side, of course downgrading to NFSv3 is not a fix, but rather a workaround. We have also been using NFSv4 since 10.04 and NFSv3 has problems with lock files, as far as I've heard, so of course NFSv4 needs to be fixed.

Additional information (not sure if relevant to this bug but might be): NFSv4 takes a minute or two to mount user home directories after boot so one cannot login right away: "bootwait" option needs to be added to /etc/fstab in order to make the machine wait until NFS home is mounted and only display the login screen after. Again, this does not happen with NFSv3 and did not happen with NFSv4 on 10.04. Whatever changes were done to NFSv4 since 11.10, they only made things worse.
