There's probably people on this list more qualified to answer this than 
I... ;)

To my understanding (and educated guessing), the client has a valid NFS 
file handle in this situation. So, from its POV, it looks like the 
server has gone away away, and comes back. Why would it need to 
re-claim its mount from mountd(8)?
