Can't unmount usb drive, file.so keeps it busy (Bug already reported)

Arch updated + KDE.
I can reproduce this every time: I plug a usb hdd, start a movie in it using VLC, close VLC, then the drive can't be unmounted because "file.so" keeps it busy.
Not even root can umount it.

~$ lsof /dev/sda1
COMMAND  PID    USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE   SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
file.so 3849 username    5r   REG    8,1 2540974984  567 /run/media/username/TOSHIBA EXT/movie.mkv
