This should already be fixed e2fsprogs 1.45.5+ via this commit:

    libext2fs/ismounted.c: check device id in advance to skip false device names
    
    If there is a trickster which tries to use device names as the mount
    device for pseudo-file systems, the resulting /proc/mounts can confuse
    ext2fs_check_mount_point().  (So far as I can tell, there's no good
    reason to do this, but sysadmins do the darnest things.)
    
    An example of this might be the following /proc/mounts excerpt:
    
    /dev/sdb /mnt2 tmpfs rw,relatime 0 0
    /dev/sdb /mnt ext4 rw,relatime 0 0
    
    This is created via "mount -t tmpfs /dev/sdb /mnt2" followed via
    "mount -t ext4 /dev/sdb /mnt".  (Normally, a sane mount of tmpfs would
    use something like "mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /mnt2".)
    
    Fix this by double checking the st_rdev of the claimed mountpoint and
    match it with the dev_t of the device.  (Note that the GNU HURD
    doesn't support st_rdev, so we can't solve this problem for the HURD.)

I've tested via tst_ismounted and I can't replicate the issue you've described.

% cd /build/e2fsprogs-maint/lib/ext2fs
% make tst_ismounted
% sudo ./tst_ismounted /dev/dm-7
Bogus entry in /proc/mounts!  (/dev/dm-7 is not mounted on /root/tmp)
Device /dev/dm-7 reports flags 11
        /dev/dm-7 is apparently in use.
        /dev/dm-7 is mounted.
        /dev/dm-7 is mounted on /root/mnt.
