Testing again with RHEL 7.5 beta:
3.10.0-830.el7.x86_64
nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.52.el7.x86_64

Near as I can tell, with NFS version 4.1 mounts, as long as there is an active
sec=krb5 mount to a server, sec=sys mounts to that server fail (with the above
/etc/exports).  As soon as I unmount the sec=krb5 mount, the sec=sys mount
works.  And vice-versa - an active sec=sys mount prevents sec=krb5 mounts.
Waiting does not appear to help.  The sporadic behavior noted before was due
to the use of the automounter - as mounts came and went different ones would
break.

If I use NFS version 4.0, I can have both.  But then I get the locking bug in
my original post.
