That's an interesting finding.  I checked two of my systems that have
the automount problem: Both have the nvidia-390 package.  None of my
systems use Nvidia graphics.  I'll try removing that package from one
of them to see what happens to USB stick mounting.  There does appear
to be some interaction between hal (supplied by illumos) and X11
(supplied by OI).
