No, it is indeed not supported ATM though it probably could be. It has 
been on my "to investigate" list for some time, but I've never gotten 
around to it.
It will need some changes in several partman components. The powerpc port 
does something similar for prep partitions, so it could be possible. 
However, I'm not sure if powerpc also uses a different partition type for 
the prep partition and the fact that PALO requires that could be a 
complicating factor.

Help in working this out would be very welcome.

Cheers,
