-> No. This is just how the automounter works. Can you imagine what kind

-> completion in the parent directory (in your case /mnt/dir1)? FYI, the
-> O'Reilly book "Managing NFS and NIS" explains this quite well.
OTOH, it is currently not possible to mount a FS without explicitly changing
to nonexistent directory. You can workaround this with symlink that points
to the destination, but in that case never call stat() on that link.
imho, the directory should exist (if it's possible) and stat() should not
cause mount, open and chdir should do. iirc it is in the TODO list for
automounter.
