They are not.

527666 (this bug) describes an issue where mountall simply doesn't wait
long enough for block devices to appear that *do* appear.

561390 describes an issue where mountall never receives notification of
LVM devices from the kernel.

Since this bug (mountall doesn't wait long enough) has been fixed, if
you are experiencing issues you are either experiencing bug 561390
(which has not been marked Fix Released) or a different bug entirely.

It's always best to just file a new bug describing your own problems,
and allow the developers to triage that bug and determine themselves
whether it's a duplicate of a known problem or a new problem not
previously known.
