What a strange idea! The kernel is the authority, not fdisk. Your /proc/partitions is right, as you can probably verify by doing dd if=/dev/hda23 of=/dev/null or so.
Looking at the kernel boot messages will tell you precisely what these unexpected partitions are. (Don't you have CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL enabled, and slices in this BSD partition?)
