My various rsyncs are still running, so kernel NFS seems to be quite 
stable, and there's still just the two quirks I've observed (some sort of 
race in setting modification times and the issue above).

To add to the above oddity, I assume the following is the same error. 
Note that these are still tiny text dot-files (and rsync transfers as a 
dot-dot-file and tries to rename as a dot-file), but there's nothing 
special about the permissions.  Several other dot-files transferred 
without issue, so it's not as simple as all attempts to rename 
dot-dot-files to dot-files failing.
