If you use a UUID in the root=… kernel commandline, /etc/mtab is a
symlink to /proc/mounts, and the initramfs uses busybox (all the case by
default), this is to be expected.  The reason is that the root
filesystem is mounted in the initramfs, and busybox's mount
implementation does not canonicalize the /dev/disk/by-uuid path name.
