Indeed. The problem here is that the loop device refers to the image
file by full path, and then the comparison at -d time fails.
In general upstream thinks that this is a convenience feature and
you should delete mappings by passing the loop device name instead
(so kpartx -d /dev/loop1).
This is also LP#1747044.
Upstream has improved/fixes this in commit
c1adcc5ba452bb1252c97c8066e340433976c23e (past 0.7.7).
Cheers,
