Pressing F1 in the Disks window now brings up some help (yay!), but GNOME Help » Hardware » Disks & storage » "Manage volumes and partitions" is light on details and says nothing about these icon badges.
Besides giving these badges a tooltip, the panel underneath showing partition details (e.g. Size, Device, Partition Type, Contents) should also show the star and play triangle icons, each followed by the textual information that the icon is supposed to convey.
This problem remains in Ubuntu 14.04.
