I don't think the presence of the mountpoint itself is a problem.
(That said, I normally make my mountpoints drwx------ root root
just so that mc can't navigate into them unless it's mounted on.)
A problem might arise if there's something remembering seeing an
entry formerly under /home/lucio/_data/ that is now inaccessible.
At least, that's how I remember it. (I didn't put the mountpoint,
say JAZ, into ~/, but think I once had links such as ~/Debs/
pointing to /media/JAZ/subdirectory-full-of-.deb-files/ which
caused the problem when the Jaz drive wasn't mounted. All
a long while ago as you can guess from the technology.)
Cheers,
David.
