It uses libparted, I think.
About the error message you get, it happened also to me and I think it
is a limitation of parted, not an error. I suggest you to reassign this
bug report to libparted and change its severity to wishlist, asking for
a more verbose error message, that would explain what the real problem
is.
Parted has very specific and detailed error messages, so I think the
author will likely reply soon to your request.
Bye,
