(Get the code!)
Okay, my machine is no longer available for test output. I've fixed it per this post.

This seems to be the most informative bug report.

I can confirm my drive was once formatted as fat before going ext3, and very likely only that partition.
I would suggest that my report here be marked as a duplicate by an experienced member if they agree.
----
Quick uneducated summary - Lawrence Rust found the new blkid trips on partitions with multiple metadata, whereas the previous one didn't. I can't say why GParted would leave behind fat metadata when converting to ext2/3. Possibly it should be what gets fixed.
Which I'll hazard means we may not see a patch that avoids this problem for people who already have residual fat metadata on their partitions. Which does beg the question of what should be done for them.
Lacking a better idea, should a warning at least be added to the Karmic Release Notes? (Does Launchpad handle that, or should another team be notified?)
