Phillip, the Atari Partition Table spec is located here:

You will notice that the header entry (bottom of p.2 to top of p.3) has a signature at offset 1 ("APT"). It also has a sanity check at offset 5. In addition, each partition entry points to both the previous and next entry. There are clearly sufficient tests here to see if there is really an Atari Partition Table present or not.

I have filled six 2T disks, each with different random data, and I'm always getting the same result. There is no way this is happening randomly.
