Actually this bug has not been confirmed by util-linux maintainers, and is not
reproducible (linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 2.6.32-28 with util-linux 2.17.2-3.3).

It seems misunderstanding happened between reporters and Moritz (on whether
they actually umounted it or not).

-> Closing the bug against release-notes.
