SDCards for Mass Storage on android must be formatted using FAT32. The only use 
case for a EXT partition on your SDCard is for an "sd-ext" partition for 
apps2sd or webtop2sd or such.

If I understand correctly, it is invalid because it should not work at all. 
However, it works fine as a normal storage device. File browsers can access it 
for read/write and I can access files on it fine. Or am I misunderstanding?

It most probably works fine because the system is picking it up as "sd-ext" 
partition and mounting it at /sd-ext right? That is an independent script that 
runs on boot, and the aim of such a script is to support eclair-style apps2sd 
and such things.

On the other hand, user storage is handled by vold and, for the case of an 
sdcard, is mounted on /mnt/sdcard/. This is the storage apps have access to.

See /etc/init.d/05mountsd on your phone for the sd-ext script.
