I think it's likely that there is a reasonably stable path for any kind of mount, but I don't know a ton about networks so I'll leave it to someone else to weigh in.

But the stakes are very low here, so settings can be invalidated and discarded if they can't be resolved or they age out of the local cache. And if the mount is of a type that can't be reliably identified later, the default should have been to do nothing. Spewing junk all over every computer visited, especially junk that won't even survive the next Mac user's visit... is amateur-hour and obnoxious at best.
