Dave,

As someone else pointed out, this is a known bug
(1188948).

The issue is not with the dd, but that the view for
DBA_OBJECTS did not get updated to handle the new
object type value for materialized views.  If you
check the view definition (should be in catalog.sql)
you'll see a decode statement that determines the
object type.  It doesn't have an entry for type 42,
the new type for materialized views/snapshots, so
that's why they're listed as "undefined."

You can manually change the view definition, just keep
in mind that you'll need to change it again after
applying a patchset if the patchset replaces
catalog.sql.

It doesn't interfere with the way the snapshot/MV
works, so it's considered annoying, but harmless.  The
script is fixed in 9i.

HTH,
