The partition map doesn't have separate types for HFS and HFS+. To tell
the difference, you need to actually look at the volume header inside
the partition. The NewWorld bootblock partition does actually have an
HFS filesystem on it, but it uses a special partition type. My guess
is that one of them is looking at the filesystem, while the other is
only looking at the type field in the partition map.
