No idea why that should be.  How/where do I correct that?

Possibly not, but that is how it comes, and sorting out the Mageia
side has been higher priority up to now.

Where is that configured?

I've done a lot of googling, and most of what I found was
ubuntu-specific.  However, I found a recent entry saying that it is
provided by nfs-utils - that that is installed.  nfs-common and
nfs-server are both running, according to mcc.  Following another
lead, I tried to locate nfsmount.conf and found that I had a backup
containing it, and a man page, but no actual file.

This is incredibly difficult.  Users shouldn't have to jump through
this number of hoops to do something so basic to productivity :-(
