Additional information:

I managed to trigger the parted_server segfault by just creating and
activating a swap partition inside a cryptdisk container on a non-RAID
partition (/dev/sde5 in partition map shown below). No LVM used in
this attempt.

The partition used for this swap cryptdisk is extended and resides on
the same disk as previously mentioned RAID partitions, if that
matters in any way..
