Hmm not on a normal machine AFAIK.  autofs normally keeps well out of the way
of random removable devices, unlike bits of gnome (that clearly nautilus is
either responsible for, or pulls in the bit that is) that likes to get busy
with creating /media/ography}{5} when a usb hard disk gets plugged in.  Quite
how it picked that when the vfat filesystem had no label I'm not entirely
clear...
