I can't reproduce. I just now added core2ram.flg in my tce directory as well as tcz2ram.flg, rebooted and do not see any loop devices mounted.

Perhaps, need more information.

Now I see. Answer, busybox does not release the loop device upon umount.
Will have to use losetup

Busybox umount does work with the -d option.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
