This is allowing access to all clients on network 192.168.0.0

You haven't allowed access to clients on network 127.0.0.0

You probably need something like this in /etc/exports:
/export/home 192.168.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) 
127.0.0.0/24(rw,sync,nosubtree_check)

(all on one line, that probably got wrapped)

No bug. Just wrong configuration.
