These are probably Mac OS driver and patch partitions, and I agree that they
should be hidden. They have distinct partition types in the Mac partition table.
For example:

/dev/hda2          Apple_Driver43 Macintosh                 56 @ 64        (
28.0k)  Driver 4.3
/dev/hda3          Apple_Driver43 Macintosh                 56 @ 120       (
28.0k)  Driver 4.3
/dev/hda4        Apple_Driver_ATA Macintosh                 56 @ 176       (
28.0k)  Unknown
/dev/hda5        Apple_Driver_ATA Macintosh                 56 @ 232       (
28.0k)  Unknown
/dev/hda6          Apple_FWDriver Macintosh                512 @ 288      
(256.0k)  Unknown
/dev/hda7      Apple_Driver_IOKit Macintosh                512 @ 800      
(256.0k)  Unknown
/dev/hda8           Apple_Patches Patch Partition          512 @ 1312
