Dan,
The UUID/fstab setup has worked for me since 10.3.x. I have four
volumes setup this way to mount on /Users, /usr/local and too disable
auto-mounting for the other two
UUID=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /usr/local hfs rw 0 2
UUID= xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /Users hfs rw 0 2
UUID= xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /Volumes/Data hfs rw,noauto 0 2
UUID= xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /Volumes/Users hfs rw,noauto 0 2
The trick is, that you have to duplicate this info in NetInfo /mounts
for it to actually work. Then use nidump to create the fstab file:
sudo nidump fstab / > /etc/fstab
Now that the info is in both fstab and NetInfo things work fine on
10.3.x (and 10.2.x).
It would be nice if NetInfo didn't need a copy, but that's no big deal.
Is that the oversight you were talking about?

There are two ways to have it mount at boot. The first one, also the
