No it won't.
The .snapshot will still be there and will still suffer this problem when someone uses it.
I'm not sure I follow you. If they use it from the seperate mountpoint, there won't be a problem. If they try to refer to the .snapshot in their own directory, sure, they'll still have the problem, but 1. They wouldn't know to look there if you told them to get it from /snapshot (for example), and 2. If they went ahead and used it anyway, they'd know what they were doing.
And it would leave me with another issue - how to setup automount maps to do the actual mounts in some consistent way.
Well, simply don't use automounter. It's evil anyway. (This is a religious war, though, so let's not get into it on this list.)
