Not to worry, I used a CentOS container to test this myself:

# lsb_release -ir
Distributor ID: CentOS
Release:        7.2.1511

The problem is that we check multiple sources for a distro's name,
favouring the output of lsb_release -ir.

If you have lsb_release available your system is reported as CentOS,
otherwise we fall back to reading os-release or redhat-release and get
CentOSLinux.

I've filed a bug to track this issue:
