autofs doesn't need or use /var/run/autofs (after looking at the sources). Apparently, the directory is created by upstream's makefile: autofs-5.0.6/samples/Makefile: install -d -m 755 $(INSTALLROOT)/var/run/autofs

This is fixed already in =autofs-5.0.6-r5. Please test this version and report back if this is still an issue for you. Thanks for your patience.
Indeed, /var/run/autofs is gone in 5.0.6-r5 (and there is a new /usr/lib/autofs/lookup_dir.so file - guess it's ok).
Bug can be closed? Or only when -r5 is stable?
