I would consider this to be a bug, especially since it wasn't a problem in previous versions, but I will leave that to others to decide if it should be addressed or not.
If your conclusion is correct, then this *must* be fixed else the consequence is that Mac users can no longer properly take part in an NFS network which relies in synchronized UIDs for permissions control while also using AFP
On our ReadyNAS the NFS security settings and privileges appear to be working just fine. The NFS permissions are based on the host for granting access, and we are able create and edit files/folders. The UID on the NAS have the client's UID/GIDs so they don't match anything on the NAS without a NFS map configured.
