That's the issue, it cannot. The (MBR) partition type is 07h; it can contain
either an NTFS or exFAT filesystem. If there were no backwards compatibility
issues I'd perhaps change the partition type name to ntfs-exfat.

The gpart.8 man page has in the PARTITION TYPES section:
ntfs A partition that contains a NTFS or exFAT
filesystem. The scheme-specific type is "!7" for
MBR.
If you have a suggestion about a documentation change that could make this more
clear I'm happy to entertain it.
