To simply toggle the identifiers from 0xb to 0xc wouldn't damage any data, it also does not indicate that "LBA is unsupported" by the drive.. LBA is just a logical notation for counting disk sectors (..if it detected your drive was smaller than 2/8GB, then perhaps maybe. ).

However, the area of the FreeBSD kernel responsible for probing disks with foreign partitions might not care about that difference.. it could be perhaps related to the actual filesystem structure, indeed it may be a bug.

You'll have better luck reporting things like things using the proper channels, i.e: mailing lists.. bug tracker.. etc.
