"unknown partition table" is what I would expect when using whole
drive.
It just mean "the first block doesn't look like a partition table",
and if you have some early block of an ext3 (or other) filesystem in
the first block (as you would in this case), you wouldn't expect it to
look like a partition table.

I don't understand what you are trying to say with your second
sentence.
