A-ha. I have found a way to reliably trigger the failure of mountall.

Install a bare server using Karmic, update it fully.
Then, on that server, try to view a man page on the console. Arrow keys will appear to not work correctly.

Install emacs-snapshot-nox on that server.
Attempt to arrow around.

The following text will then display:

mountall: Cancelled
General error mounting filesystems.
A maintenance shell will now be started.
CONTROL-D will terminate this shell re-try.
root@saffron:~# _

Now, note that in Emacs, this will not appear with the newlines correctly displayed; it will clobber the terminal and the text shown is stair stepped. Something very wrong is going on here, this bug should be critical for release.
