This is not the only exception. Some audio CDs with a data track are
recognized as valid by both CDDA, ISO9660, and Session. Session has an
higher priority, and reexposes two partitions, which ISO9660 and CDDA
can scan again to find their respective data.
Mixed ISO9660/HFS CDs are also possible. The ISO9660 filesystem
leaves the first 32K on the disk free to allow another filesystem header
to be written there. So in some extreme cases, a CD could be identified
succesfully by 3 filesystems and one partitionning system.
