I had some more ideas overnight:
(1) Check that libparted0 is installed on the *host*.
(2) Try to find out what libraries the parted binary requires on
the host and appliance. On the host:
ldd /usr/bin/parted
On the appliance:
virt-rescue --scratch
<rescue> ldd /usr/bin/parted
(3) Remove the appliance and recreate it:
rm -rf /var/tmp/.guestfs-*
libguestfs-test-tool
(4) As this is ancient Debian, try rebuilding the supermin appliance:
sudo update-guestfs-appliance
Rich.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into KVM guests.
