Where there's no clear ordering between two potential inhabitants of a device, we do not consider vol_id's failure to correctly guess which it is a bug.
The problem is as Colin says, mkreiserfs should have wiped the device as it formatted it.
(If we had nice graphical tools like parted to do partitioning, we'd be fine, since they do wipe the device first)
