It certainly sounds like it would make an interesting project. I vaguely
recall Isilon mentioning they had something they used for "hardening"
their NFS server. I have no idea what that was (or even if it was them;-),
but it would be interesting to have something.

CITI at UMich have a Python test suite for NFSv4 and I (again, vaguely:-)
recall it does try various kinds of bogus/garbage args. It might be one
starting point.

Could it qualify as a Google SOC project for next summer?
(hint, hint...I haven't got the time to do it.)
