yes, it seems to do some FUSE mounting which might trigger problems
since they are (intentional) not available for root.

I never used AppImage before. I've just tried some random apps which
are working fine and did not produce any false positives.

the content of /proc/$PID/maps and `ls -lha /proc/$PID/{root,cwd}` might
help. Maybe you could provide steps howto reproduce the problem (where
to get the AppImage, which action are required so needrestart begins to
report the false positive).
