Here's what I get:

"Partition 3" seems pretty bogus to me: a partition that occupies 0 blocks is - um - nonexistent to me.
However U-Boot ide part shows two partitions:
...
Partition Map for IDE device 0 -- Partition Type: DOS
Partition Start Sector Num Sectors Type 1 32 19680 c 2 19712 231168 83
Looks ok to me, and fits exactly to the data above.
I have not investigated which one is wrong/correct because I can access
Why do you think anything is wrong?
primary - VFAT - partition on both systems and also on a PC. After I finish VFAT write support in U-Boot, I might go and see which "fdisk" is wrong or correct.
Keep your eyes open while you're going. It seems that there are some serious hidden bugs (writing through rogue pointers) in the VFAT code.
Best regards,
