This seems to be also related to kernel version.

Booting with a 2.6.38 kernel I can remove the changes to the
lightdm.conf file and autofs works fine.

As another data point, with a linux kernel >3.0 on a Debian wheezy
machine and a similar autofs setup I get a similar problem with autofs
failing.

Title:
  autofs5 needs to start before lightdm

Status in “autofs5” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I use autofs to mount my $HOME.  Since upgrading to oneiric and
  lightdm I can no longer login as the system hangs trying to mount my
  $HOME.

  I added an 'emit autofs' to /etc/init/autofs.conf and a 'and started
  autofs' to /etc/init/lightdm to force the ordering and now all works.
