Yep, same issue for me.
Gnu-fdisk was the reason for the failure. Revert to classic fdisk solves
the problem.

I installed it to have some functionality that classic fdisk lacked.

Im not sure but maybe gnu-fdisk should use the alternative framework so
one had to choose the deafult ?

Or its just a bug in gnu-fdisk. I just checked and found bug 445304.
I wrote a follow-up for his case as well.
