You were correct on the first part. I just retested without mounting the card and it does come back as "mmcblk0" and "mmcblk0p1". But it also comes back as a character device not a block device even though the minor/major numbers are the same. Why would mdev initially create the node as a block device then change it? As far as I can tell /etc/mdev.conf just defines the ownership and permissions for the nodes.
