Who would benefit from having those 2 0-sized partitions and how? How many users/scripts would be confused by this (these 2 ghost partitions would be visible in /proc/mtd and sysfs)? How much RAM would we spend for creating sysfs files and directories for these ghost partitions (note, one sysfs file costs a couple KiB I thing, because 'sizeof (struct inode)').
While you suggestion is clever, do we really benefit from this?
