I was puling my hair out with essentially the same problem for the last few days: segfault on blkid, in 12.04 and 11.10 in my multi-boot system. Everything booted, though, and partitions looked normal and diags reported no probs with them.
So now on a lark I eliminated the 7MB unallocated space on /dev/sdb before the first partition, which is an extended partition. Voila!
