How was this filesystem created? It's apparently idnetifying it as an NTFS filesystem because 3072 bytes from the beginning of the filesystem, the signature string "NTFS " appeared, and this confused the blkid library. However, mke2fs should have cleared that portion of the disk to avoid false posiives; and it's done so for quite a long time. I should probably make the NTFS check more paranoid, but it shouldn't be happening....
