Immediate response to peoples queries: I have a highly unsupported installation of Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows ME and Windows XP on one partition, and am aiming to add Windows 2000 and 2003 (I'm covered by a site license). Testing is therefore slightly haphazard. As far as I'm concerned its working quite well. I have noticed a difference between the boot sector format of the NT derived OSes - the BPB header is extended, and the code offset is bumped from 0x3c to 0x58 to make space - but as far as I can see the bytes in question apply to all formats, its just that the NT loader is more picky about them.
The most recent version of parted preserves (or restores if they have were wrongly altered) these bytes, but I have not yet tested boot. I'll come back once I've tested, with more information. Thanks for the advice! It looks like this has already been fixed.
