Thank you for opening this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. Indeed
'stat' states /dev is tmpfs.

But 'mount' gives out the type as 'devtmpfs' (!):

hggdh@chatto:~$ mount | grep udev
udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
hggdh@chatto:~$

and, then, 'df -x devtmpfs' works as expected:

hggdh@chatto:~$ df -x devtmpfs
Filesystem     1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/vda        20511356 2518264  16944516  13% /
none                   4       0         4   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs              50300     232     50068   1% /run
none                5120       0      5120   0% /run/lock
none              251484      52    251432   1% /run/shm
none              102400       0    102400   0% /run/user
hggdh@chatto:~$

 But 'info mount', or 'man mount' do not list 'devtmpfs' as a valid
system type. But 'devtmpfs' *is* a kernel-supported type...

I am not sure this is a coreutils issue per se; needs more research.
