ACK, I can see that.

Cool. I'll be honest, there's no rush for this for me. The earlier
image format using an appended msdos partition rather than GPT is
working fine for now, and is what I'm going to use for the Jessie
release this coming weekend. I might be tempted to switch to GPT later
for this, but it's just too close to release to be playing with this
kind of change... :-)

Right.
The Gap1 partition doesn't seem to cause any problems on the one
device I've got handy for testing, anyway.
