Comment 3 for bug 1096307

Ed, which version of mountall do you have installed here? By design, mountall should notify the user of this mount failure via plymouth, but as your sample fstab entries show mount points that are not required for the OS to boot, they should not block the rest of the system from being started. As there have been updates to mountall in 12.04 related to ordering of filesystem events, it's important to know exactly which version of the package you reproduced this with.
