Any ideas?

This is not an rpcbind problem - the other machine (nmap) shows that
port 111 isopen for rpcbind.
It's a new form of dependency hell.
systemctl start nfs-server gives:
nfs-server.service: Found ordering cycle on mnt-raid.mount/start nfs-server.service: Found dependency on nfs-server.service/start nfs-server.service: Unable to break cycle starting with nfs- server.service/start
Requested transaction contains an unfixable cyclic ordering dependency: Transaction order is cyclic.

Since I haven't done anything affecting systemd services, it look looks
like a bug. Surely this must have been seen before?

Not sure how, but there is no longer a problem. I used systemd to mount
my raid array, after which I could start nfs-server and normal service
has been resumed.
