Could also be an overflow maybe.
Can you find the code that calculates the partition sizes and the extends
and reproduce the problem with a 'set -x' added, either in the specific
relevant script(s) or in /lib/partman/lib/base.sh?
The last will give a huge amount of debug output, but has the advantage
that you can be sure to have it all. If you know what to search for it's
workable.
