That's exactly what it is. The Microsoft Premium Softcard IIe (and perhaps
others) had a special "data only" format that wrapped to the first tracks in
that manner to provide more capacity.

That explains it -- the owner of the disk image used a Microsoft Softcard.
The system disk that came with the Microsoft Premium SoftCard IIe
has a file named "COPY.COM" but does not have one named "FORMAT.COM".
That's because this "COPY.COM" has the capability to format disks.
Use of the '/D' and '/F' switches will format a disk that an
additional 12K of storage space. It would be interesting to see if
this version of "COPY.COM" will work with earlier versions of CP/M for
Apple CP/M cards.
