Hm, I'm afraid I don't follow -- If a partition has a recognizable file system, how can it have a partition table at the same time? The device which you quoted in the reversion git log, which ID_FS_* properties did it have, and which kind of partition was that?

I see that the previous change would break situations where a particular device (raw or partition, doesn't matter) is both a fs and a partition table, but I don't know how this is possible?
