I believe the problem is much deeper than that and while your
observations are valid, you don't have a root cause yet. You just have
a happy symptom that works with your specific configuration.
Here's what I've found after much up & down-grading and rebooting:
First, I've had netmount in the default runlevel for ages and it's
worked for ages even though it does nothing.
Second, openrc has been launching "dhcpcd -q" at boot time for ages and
this has never interfered with wicd which comes along later.
openrc-0.8.* always works with any kernel version
openrc-0.9* work with kernel-3.2.5
openrc-0.9* does not work with kernel-3.2.6, giving these errors:

That looks to me like avahi is all confused and tripping over what
openrc & wicd do properly. I'd say the root cause is a change in
kernel-3.2.6 that was not tested against.
So, what's the next debugging step?
