It's a similar situation as outlined above: GPT partitions can include
MBR partitions to improve compatibility with old operating systems --
the GPT header is placed in the 2nd block.
Therefore, GPT has a higher priority than MBR. If you now reinitialize
the disk as MBR without removing the GPT header block, it will still be
recognized as GPT.

BTW there is even a related bug: https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8823
