...really!  wow...!  you're correct (it worked on 8.1 and 
8.2), but it does umount the drive and typing eject /mnt/zip 
behaves exactly the same and yields this error message:

[alan@obi-wan removable media]$ eject /mnt/zip
eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument
[alan@obi-wan removable media]$

so, to get better info:

[alan@obi-wan removable media]$ eject -v /mnt/zip
eject: device name is `/mnt/zip'
eject: expanded name is `/mnt/zip'
eject: `/dev/sda4' is mounted at `/mnt/zip'
eject: unmounting `/dev/sda4'
eject: `/dev/sda4' is a multipartition device
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sda4' using CD-ROM eject command
eject: CD-ROM eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sda4' using SCSI commands
eject: SCSI eject failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sda4' using floppy eject command
eject: floppy eject command failed
eject: trying to eject `/dev/sda4' using tape offline command
eject: tape offline command failed
eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument
[alan@obi-wan removable media]$

...guess I'll need to report this, thanks. :(

P.S. at least the eject button works. :)
