I have a similar problem but the message is more annoying, mine says:

	mount: WARNING!! - mounting: <usr} as <usr>

Its been doing this ever since I moved /usr off the root file system.
The error message makes no sense to me.

} before invoking new utilities at your filesystems).

Yes, I tried this and fsname(M) does change the the name field, but I
still get the error message when I mount /dev/usr /usr.
