Either this needs documenting somewhere, or it > needs fixing in blkid. Please feel free to report this as an issue to upstream[1]. However you might also want to note that blkid is in deep maintenance mode as it has been superseeded by the more easily extendable lsblk utility. Maybe it would thus be better to consider reporting this as a wishlist bug against initramfs-tools (and consider its current usage of blkid as an implementation detail that possibly could be changed to fix this).
