That seems rather unfortunate. Is there nothing that can be done to make
parted more tolerant of "dodgy" partition tables? A fallback to fdisk
would be possible, but that's something we would want to avoid if it's
at all feasible to do so, both from a standpoint of reducing the amount
of code that has to be shipped with the installer, and providing a
consistent user experience.
