It's returning ERANGE... and nope, mount.nfs doesn't support it (see
nfs_autonegotiate() in utils/mount/stropts.c).  Changing it to return
EINVAL fixes it:

I think I may have been running a hacked up version of mount.nfs
before... because as soon as I updated my nfs-utils package it stopped
working for me too.
