No idea, it works fine that way since forever. :)

$ cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep sda1
21 1 8:1 / / rw,relatime - ext4 /dev/sda1 rw, ...

$ blkid /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: LABEL="root" UUID="0e4974cc-6a11-11e0-8d7b-002186a23ce5" TYPE="ext4"

$ tune2fs -U time /dev/sda1
tune2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010)

$ blkid /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: LABEL="root" UUID="26be6e7c-6a11-11e0-ad62-002186a23ce5" TYPE="ext4"

I don't think that approach makes any sense without doing a call into
the filesystem, and such calls have no place in mountinfo.
