blkid -p /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb1: ambivalent result (probably more filesystems on the device)
Looks like a bug in libblkid. I mounted an 8.04 system partition and ran /mnt/sblin/blkid and that also failed to identify sdb1 (it works correctly when running 8.04). Unfortunately/predictably LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/lib /mnt/sbin/blkid caused a seg fault.
