[poky] Strange ext filesystem error

I've noticed this behaviour on my Poky/Yocto based systems.
First, I format some device, in this case an MMC card, as ext3
(yes, my kernel supports ext3)
   # mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p1
Then, when I go to mount it, I get this error:
   # mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /tmp/disk
   EXT2-fs (mmcblk0p1): warning: mounting ext3 filesystem as ext2

Any ideas why?  How can I get ext3 file system working?

Thanks
