So you've got /etc/mtab fucked up. Both umount(8) and df(1) read it to find the set of mountpoints _and_ to get information about the stuff mounted there. Information left there by mount(8).
Check the contents of /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts. If the latter contains two lines with hdh1 - you've got a kernel bug. If doesn't and /etc/mtab does - userland bug in mount(8), talk to util-linux maintainer.
