Check the version of umount(8) you've got.  And see if that strace happens
to have open of /proc/mounts, without matching close by the time it calls
umount().  util-linux-ng 2.13.1 is _that_ dumb...

Please, make sure that you are using the same userland for testing - with
aforementioned version of umount(8) behaviour is triggered with .24 as well
as with .25 and there's nothing kernel could do about that...
