Yes, it is being used as a file, but it is not necessarily "open for writing". 
If the file has no links, it doesn't matter what its open modes are; the file
system can't be downgraded without -f.  It would be a simple matter to add "or
if any file on the file system is open and has a zero link count" to the man
page.

Or, per my suggestion, the problem could be eliminated.
