In the unmount path?  It doesn't; I just don't think autofs would be
affected,
since having a current working directory in a mountpoint prevents the
unmount
(unless it's forced).

In the mount path?  See below.

Well, it would be pretty useless if you got the covered directory.  But ok,
here's
a better example, one that actually shows that:

[trasz@v2:/media/md0]% mount
/dev/ada0s1a on / (ufs, local, noatime, journaled soft-updates)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel)
map -hosts on /net (autofs)
map -media on /media (autofs)
[trasz@v2:/media/md0]% ls -al
total 9
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel     512 Sep 10 10:16 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel     512 Sep  8 11:42 ..
drwxrwxr-x  2 root  operator  512 Sep 10 10:16 .snap
[trasz@v2:/media/md0]% mount
/dev/ada0s1a on / (ufs, local, noatime, journaled soft-updates)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, multilabel)
map -hosts on /net (autofs)
map -media on /media (autofs)
/dev/md0 on /media/md0 (ufs, local, noatime, nosuid, automounted)

Notice the .snap/ directory; it's an empty UFS filesystem.
