It should be using the UUID from the kernel command line, but it does not sound like it is. Maybe it is time for a bug report? As far as editing /etc/mtab, this will not do you any good, and may cause you problems on shutdown. mtab is a list of mounted file systems. It is not a complete list, as it does not show anything mounted before / is remounted rw. Also, some things mount file systems without putting an entry in mtab.
