Still have this with 2.2.12 on:
Linux pacifica 2.2.12-knfs #1 Tue Aug 31 12:59:08 PDT 1999 i686 unknown
(vanilla 2.2.12 + HJL's knfs patches).
This box is hit by quite heavy NFS traffic. There seem to be no file
corruption (so far).
This is the error patterns (slightly reformatted):

This is a pain in the b*** since the read() or write() returns EIO (or
whatever) and the programs fail strangely.
.config available if needed.
