The 00@ar is both better and worse than what I get, which is a 0@ with 
no hostname.  You'll fare OK, I presume, if you drop the domain part 
from your entry:

> .+  ar\.aichi-u\.ac\.jp  /n/ar/etc/passwd  /n/ar/etc/group

  .+  ar  /n/ar/etc/passwd /n/ar/etc/group

but I still wish I knew how to give nfsserver what it expects or 
persuade it to work to these peculiarities.

Note, for the record, that using NetBSD, the mount succeeds, presumably 
because no attribute request is performed at that point, and that 
statfs requests likewise succeed.  Evidently, NFS is not as well 
defined as one might expect it to be :-(
