"From just a few samples" yes, but in general the internal state 
of Mersenne twister is easy to reverse – e.g. check out 
https://github.com/fx5/not_random for a nice little demonstration.

IMHO there is no problem with unpredictableSeed not being 
cryptographically secure, as long as the docs point out it is not 
to be used anywhere near where a CSPRNG should be. But I'm hardly 
an expert either.
