Try killing and restarting your lock daemon, rather than rebooting the server. I realize that what you're describing shouldn't rely on that, but it's something you might try (I used to see the same thing with gopher processes).
Yup, tried that already (with expected results from looking at a lock_dump on the Netapp)... no go. I haven't caught anything in the act of trying an open() on a "stuck" file yet, but I'm guessing that will hang too. The stat() that typically precedes an application opening the file does hang.
