That's probably true.

Since they always show up as deleted the current solution is still
correct in your scenario.
And they have to show up as deleted since this memory object is only
accesible to the process and its relatives. FD passing et.al. do not
help for /dev/zero since mmaping the file again gives you a new
mapping.
