David,

First of all, thank for such an excellent analysis of the problem!
It was definitely appreciated! 

I have to agree with your findings that this appears to be a server 
problem, so I pinged one of the NFS guys at Apple and here
is his response:

    I remember I fixed one that caused ACCESS to return
    incorrect access bits which I think went out in a Tiger update,
    though I can't pin down which one.  But it's possibly fixed in
    a Tiger update - though it affected Mac clients too.

    Sounds like the customer should now be motivated to
    upgrade to 10.5 Leopard.  It's not likely that we'll be putting
    much effort into fixing 10.4 Tiger bugs now.

So it appears you'll need to update your MacOS to 10.5. 

Note: I access a 10.5 exports (on my iMac) from RHEL and Fedora 
clients all the time... w/out issue.
