I've also experienced this and from what I can tell is somehow there's
GPT table in the disk but not actually used. FreeBSD recognized this
and decided it's a GPT-labeled disk while in fact it's still MBR -
hence why it's not seen in /dev (since there's GPT) but seen in fdisk
(since it doesn't understand GPT).

I usually notice this when converting disk from GPT to MBR using
Windows' Disk Management tool.
