That's an inode hash collision in the NFS server. It happens. Use knfsd,
or simply do this

$ mv badfile /fsroot/lost+found
$ cp -a /fsroot/lost+found/badfile .

thereby giving badfile a new inode number and thus solving the immediate
problem.

[ Now if only knfsd would traverse mountpoints like the user-level nfsd... ]
