That is correct (at least with fc8).  It currently only happens with a loop
mounted file. Even though the file's content gets changed, the file's timestamp
never changes.

Not very clever if your backup method depends on changes in timestamps.  This
can mean that any loop mountable file will NEVER get backed up, despite changes
occurring therein.
