Yes, I believe this was a kernel issue that was fixed some time ago.

Title:
  losetup: no udev event on loop deletion

Status in “util-linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: util-linux

  Associating a file with a loop device via losetup creates a udev-
  event. This event is then propagated and causes nautilus to offer to
  mount the loop device (this is good). Unfortunately, no event is
  created when deleting an association. This causes nautilus to still
  offer to mount a device which isnt there anymore.

  1) Ubuntu release:
  Description:	Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
  Release:	10.04

  2) Package version:
  mount 2.17.2-0ubuntu1

  3) Expected behaviour:
  "udevadm monitor" should show up a change event for /devices/virtual/block/loopX when deleting an association with /dev/loopX.

  4) Current behaviour:
  No udev-event is shown.
