Yes, this is basically a bug. A bug in parted in fact, but one which
we shouldn't be exposing through the API. If you have a look here
it'll become more clear:
http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=blob;f=daemon/parted.c;h=06838...
(particularly the comment at line 149).
We intend to write a partition handling library which is not insane
(ie. unlike parted/libparted). Unfortunately we haven't got around to
it yet :-(
Please file a bug in Bugzilla or send a patch if you can see an easy
fix.

Hello,
I receive an answer from debian maintainers, so this is not a bug.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=622153
I will try to reproduce this tomorrow. Maybe we will need enchancement
for libguestfs.

Well this is the point: it's a bug in the libguestfs API.
But it is caused by the stupidity of the parted interface: you can't
know whether or not to omit this parameter unless you know the
partition table type, which parted is supposed to be hiding from you.
