(Get the code!)
Colin,
I was one of the contributing authors of that wiki
There are some issues that are specific to the Mac Hybrid system that converting to the MBR format allows, such as being able to boot from partitions beyond #4. I'd say that was the major reason for doing so. I think a lot of the issues that were really cumbersome with GPT are not that big of a deal anymore, and the use of grub2 may solve them all anyway. Either way, it is old, and probably outdated info. It is, of course, and open wiki and you contribution is helpful.
