OK, after upgrading to newer util-linux and building it from git,
which also didn't help, I finally found who to blame - me.
I had an old (noauto) entry in /etc/fstab which claimed that /dev/sda5 is ext4.
fsck was picking up that entry and insisting that /dev/sda5 is ext4
(regardless of what it really is)
blkid isn't doing that silly thing.
