Rhythmbox 0.12.5 wants to reformat iPod for Windows with Linux

[ro1105]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Every time I connect my iPod I'm greeted with a prompt stating:

"Do you want to initialize your iPod?

Rhythmbox has detected a device that is probably an uninitialised or corrupted iPod. It must be initialised before Rhythmbox can use it, but this will destroy any song metadata already present. If you wish Rhythmbox to initialise the iPod, please fill in the information below. If the device is not an iPod, or you do not wish to initialise it, please click cancel."

My 4G 40MB iPod is formatted for Windows and also has a Linux OS partition. The choice presented is for iPod Shuffle. After cancelling, iPod partition is visible and working, then Linux partition is also connected, both without possibility to sync.
