Looks like a false alarm then.  The rmdir is waiting for the mount to

Does it return eventually?
No, it does not return within hours (>10). And the problem occurs only
once in a while although the system is busy every day (and night)
and automount is mounting/expiring frequently.

I would expect the "/bin/umount dir" process (which is forked by
automount if I read the code correctly) to return only after the flush
is complete. So I expect the rmdir being called afterwards on an plain
empty directory.

BTW: the mount is just a bind mount, so no flush should be necessary
anyway.

It looks like VFS breakage.  Does this happen with older guest kernels?
