I'm not able to reproduce this problem.

        # rpm -q util-linux
        util-linux-2.25.2-2.fc21.x86_64

        # losetup --find --show /home/archive/fs-images/filesystems/ext2.img
        /dev/loop0

        # mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/test

        # losetup 
        NAME       SIZELIMIT OFFSET AUTOCLEAR RO BACK-FILE
        /dev/loop0         0      0         0  0 /home/archive/fs-images/filesystems/ext2.img

        # findmnt /mnt/test
        TARGET    SOURCE     FSTYPE OPTIONS
        /mnt/test /dev/loop0 ext3   rw,relatime,seclabel,data=ordered

        # umount -d /mnt/test
        # echo $?
        0

Please, try

   LIBMOUNT_DEBUG=0xffff umount -d ${mount_point}

or/and strace output would be also nice.
