Its a bug.

These partitions can contain valid data. The "Drive Setup" versions
prior 1.73 can not create these AU/X names, the user has to choose
"Unallocated" and the "Apple_Free" partition name is the result.

Please don't ignore these partitions when the name is not "Extra".
"Drive Setup" creates a small free space at the end of every partition
table, no idea why (differs from 5 - 25 blocks). The name is always
"Extra", the other partitons have the name "Untitled X" or the localized
pendant of "untitled".

I can not use your tool when you ignore the reality ;)
