This is expected. From include/fuse_lowlevel.h:

         *
         * On unmount the lookup count for all inodes implicitly drops
         * to zero. It is not guaranteed that the file system will
         * receive corresponding forget messages for the affected
         * inodes.
         *

Best,
-Nikolaus
