It just seems like you didn't completely understand what was happening. Certainly some very weird and confusing things happen with you take partitioned SD cards from phones and read them on a Windows PC and a proper SD formatter is pretty much the only way to get things back to a known state.

Using an sd card (partitioning, unpartitioning, adding, erasing data....). will leave a card in a weird state and using any other method (on windows) to completely wipe/reformate an sd card other than using the sd card formatter can (and will) leave the card in an unknown state with areas potentially blocked out. While YMMV i've found the safest and most consistant way to prepare sd cards on windows (especially if they have been used for something else previously) is to use a usb reader/writer & use the sd card formatter. i’m going from several years of empirical research (and killing many sd cards are various makes and sizes, turning them into cellphone fodder).
