Not sure if this is related but it was the bug that came out on a google search and it seems to have similar origin, i.e. fuse.

Question, are fuse mounts supposed to survive reboots?

They did for me once. X hang on my x86_64 nightly updated F13 when trying to display a quite large image from wikipedia. Mouse worked, not keyboard. Ssh'ed from another machine, killed a couple of things to see if I could recover but eventually needed to shutdown -r.

I have pam_ssh installed and modify the pam scripts so I log in with my ssh passphrase. I log on with gdm but run don't run gnome, xinit/xsession/fvwm instead.

When I logged on again I noticed I couldn't ssh to any of the places I usually do, without entering my passphrase, like ssh-agent wasn't proper. Logged off and on a couple of times and no go. Eventually I found that I still had another system fuse mounted, just like it was before the machine was rebooted.

Unmounted that fs, logged off then on, and things are normal again. Strange and scary. Not sure I can replicate it again.
