I have no issues with saving and restoring resized partitions (but I do not use clonezilla for that). Still you do need to shrink the source partitions before cloning because there is no way to access the partclone images I know of. If there was a FUSE module to make the partclone image accessible as a block device you could both access the files stored in the image and possibly resize it using some md/lvm snapshot functionality in the Linux kernel.
