I believe I've finally found out what's wrong with this, after reproducing it once again myself: parted doesn't report "hfs" unless you actually create an hfs filesystem there; we don't have hfsutils-udeb, and don't really want to create a filesystem there anyway since mkofboot does it later. I also believe I know the necessary fix, finally: I'll have partman-newworld stuff the list of boot partitions into a debconf template which yaboot-installer can then just fetch.
