Yes, if it isn't in /etc/fstab you need to specify both the device and
the mountpoint (it shouldn't be in fstab, so that's fine). Thus the
partition table on this device is definitively broken, it doesn't have
any sensible data at all.

So the problem here is that there is a partition table, but an invalid
one, and thus hal ignores the raw device in favor of the partition,
which then is invalid.

So arguably hal could be a little more robust here, but with corrupted
data you can only do so much, I'm afraid.

What does

  sudo vol_id /dev/sdb
  sudo vol_id /dev/sdb1

print?
