Unfortunately it isn't a blkid bug, your filesystem type genuinely can't
be determined because it contains multiple metadata. ie. it could be
validly mounted as one of two filesystem types, one of which is going to
be wrong and result in corruption.
We generally recommend in this situation that you reformat the device
involved with a tool that takes care to wipe other metadata first (e.g.
parted). Since /boot is fairly small, you should be able to copy the
data off to /tmp/boot, unmount, reformat, and copy back (adjusting fstab
for the new UUID).
If that's not possible, you can workaround the issue by changing the
UUID in /etc/fstab to a hardcoded device name; however this will not
work if your devices frequently change their assigned names (as can
happen if you change SCSI or IDE layout, and on some machines even boot
with USB devices plugged in).
