Fixed version:
# ./blkid -p /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc: UUID="18CBAEE61457A850" TYPE="ntfs" USAGE="filesystem"

wipefs has a little bit different semantic, it tries to gather as
much as possible magic strings, so after the bug fix it still reports
"dos" on 0x1fe. It's expected behavior.
wipefs internally masks previously detected magic string (e.g. "ntfs")
to avoid any interaction with the next probing. This is because we
want to see all possibilities. Note wipefs wipes only the magic
strings (and nothing else), so if you wipe "NTFS" than it will be
interpreted as MBR ("dos") as there is no more valid NTFS.

Sounds like we need another test image :-)
Thanks for your reports!
