Mac OS is not even using the (protected) EFI boot partition (take a look at it yourself - it's empty), keeping all the EFI stuff on the (quite a bit harder to find) Mac OS boot partition (which isusing yet another FS instead of a FAT 32 FS to make things worse). And the MBR "partitioning" is just a protection against any OS that might not understand GPT partitions and threaten to abuse the medium. It is meant to contain _one_ partition occupying the entire disk.
