The partition type is very rarely used (it's kind of an announce of
the *purpose* of this partition, but the partition's content is always
the one that really describes itself) or even consulted, so in my
experience it hasn't been a problem.  But you can do

    % fdisk /dev/sdg
    t RET 1 RET b RET w

to set that partition's type to "W95 FAT32", if you're worried
about that.
