Pretty much exactly what you describe is going on. Something in blkid's
handling doesn't deal properly with Sun Whole Disk types.
It is a known bug, haven't had time lately to put a lot of time into it.
This is an easy fix.
David M. and I worked together to make sure that /sysfs did export a
whole_disk attribute for a full disk slices.
An ad-hoc udev rule change to skip creation/handling of those devices
will work just fine and it´s useful on all architecture (also for BSD
formatted block devices).
System-wide there is no practical use of those anyway, and they are
still visible to partitioning tools.
