 Indeed this test fails:
 
 test dos 2 1 <<'EOF'
 disk2: start=1024 size=1023 type=L

 with the error "MBR partition 2 not found". 
In fact this is because sfdisk interprets "type=L" silently as type=0.
You can't use the short codes instead of type bytes here.  Also our
partition filter ignores any partitions with type=0 (should it?).
In any case if I use a proper type byte it works fine.
I'll add the new test anyway.
