Will have another look, but the failed umount was at system _shutdown_ - not too many processes left by then I hope.

Oh come on. We've been through this. There is a difference between
1) root maliciously breaking system with cat /dev/random > /dev/mem etc. and 2) the system responding poorly to commands root might legitimately issue
Unmounting filesystems, no matter what they are and what order I umount them in, falls into category 2)
