This can be done from the GUI as well. JFTR:
  1. Open File Manager
  2. Click Memory Card
  3. Select Format Memory Card from Menu
(My device speaks German. Translations guessed)
And it worked.

But..., does this mean Nokia sold me (and others) an internal card with a broken partition table? Don't they ever test anything? (I read people lost data on USB sticks in similar situations. IMHO, any sane system should refuse to mount this, but, of course, no one asked for MHO.)
