hmmm... i seem to have found a hacky workaround:

    <device>
      <match key="volume.fstype" string="msdos">
        <merge key="volume.fstype" type="string">vfat</merge>
      </match>
    </device>

now anything autodetected as msdos will be mounted as vfat. i have no 
idea if that's ok but it works for my devices. but for real, i probably 
have to get rid of msdos filesystem in my kernel altogether.
