The partition is quite old and was pre-installed on my old Debian webserver, which I've dist-upgraded to Hoary IIRC.

I've commented out the ntfs line in the blkid_magic struct (./lib/blkid/probe.c) and now it seems to work correctly:
# blkid /dev/sda1
/dev/sda1: UUID="70b7d252-5a65-45cd-a949-30569a2cce39" SEC_TYPE="ext2" TYPE="ext3"

So, as you've said, apparently the ntfs check is wrong.

But I wonder though: are ntfs partitions not supposed to have an UUID?
