DESCRIPTION
     fstat identifies open files.  A file is considered open by a process if
     it was explicitly opened, is the working directory, root directory,
     active pure text, or kernel trace file for that process. [..]

So it sounds like a bug. Even if the original ktrace process is long gone
and child processes have inherited the ktrace via -i, the file should
be listed.
