Thank you!
Just in time.
I was about to release 2.2.
I've adjusted your patch to work also with hfs+, wrote the NEWS
entry and added a test to exercise it.
(BTW, your mail client mangled the patch, so I couldn't apply it)
Along the way I noticed two cases in which unwanted
output on stdout would fail to provoke a test failure.
That's the first patch:

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] dos: set HFS/HFS+ partition identifier to proper value
The correct value for an "hfs" partition identifier is 0xAF.
Previously the partition identifier was incorrectly set to 0x83.
* libparted/labels/dos.c (PARTITION_HFS): Define.
(msdos_partition_set_system): Use it.
