 Yes.  This happens on Fedora and also on RHL 8/9.  I see it occasionally
and
 do a lazy umount if it happens.

 umount -l (lowercase letter L) takes care of it for me.

 Some man pages seem to suggest that umount itself can cause the filesystem
 to be busy because of the library it uses.

 Hope this helps.   Erik
