I'm fairly positive that you can type "HFS+J" as an alias for ""Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+". Maybe this is hardcoded in diskutil; maybe it is actually possible to define such aliases. Looking at the other .fs bundles, the FSName property itself is not intended to be a shorthand.

Just a matter of preference, I suppose. It's not terribly important.
No, I'm just curious whether it's solvable.

As for an actual problem: for some reason, ntfs-3g doesn't always exit properly.
