Why? Just use /dev/sdc directly, and you'll avoid the 32 bit problems fdisk (or the default partition table type, I can't remember which it is now) evidently has.

Yes, there's your problem.

mkfs.xfs is just using the information that its given from the kernel, which is the second /proc/partitions line above.
