Exporting / -maproot=root -alldirs doesn't work as expected

My memory says, and the man page seems to agree with it, that

Code: 
/ -maproot=root -alldirs 192.168.0.1

in /etc/exports on machine bar will allow me to

Code: 
mount_nfs bar:/ /barmtpt

with root privs on system foo (192.168.0.1) and thus have access to all subtrees and leaf nodes in bar's filesystem.

But what I'm actually getting when I

Code: 
ls -FAl /barmtpt/etc

is a list of the leaf nodes in /barmtpt/etc, but not its subtree roots. And that's true for all children of /.

Is my memory wrong, or is there something else broken?
