It is a common misconfiguration. Given a line
device dir type options garbage
in /etc/fstab, some umount versions will complain "device busy" when the umount fails. Thus, it is better to use
proc /proc proc devpts /dev/pts devpts
instead of
none /proc proc none /dev/pts devpts
so as to avoid this silly "none busy". But many distributions come misconfigured like this.
These days umount is done by directory, not by device, since a device may be mounted multiple times, so I expect the silly message is gone. (Is your umount recent?)
[But this is only about the "none". I don't know what is wrong in your situation.]
