I was hit by the same problem when upgrading to Karmic today (detected
vfat and ext3). Git version also works here

# blkid -p /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: ambivalent result (probably more filesystems on the device)
# ./blkid -p /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: UUID="a7b855d8-8d49-494f-b24d-dfa26c4a5916" VERSION="1.0" 
TYPE="ext3" USAGE="filesystem"


I guess this is caused by the windows shipped with this computer and I'm pretty 
sure this will cause huge problems to "beginners" who will be left with an 
unusable system.

Isn't there some type of hotfix possible like cleaning the vfat
signature from these partitions when upgrading to util-linux-ng?
