My guess is that there is no mbr (i wonder about the checksum), and that
the other systems silently fall back to assuming FAT32 on the whole
disk.  Things with MBRs generally have 0-62 not used and the sole a
partition 63-end.  So I suspect fdisk is not confused, or the mount at 0
would have failed.

Try mbrlabel(8) too.
