I am following this, and i wonder if you could go to a console, and call up
parted to create the partition. It would be :

parted scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
(parted) mkpart ext2 primary 0 8
(parted) set 1 prep-boot on 
   ( or set 1 prep on, depending on the parted version ).
(parted) print

and show me the line of the partition. If it works for parted but not partman,
could you file a bug report against partman ?
