Something sure stinks here...

I find most installers these days are overly opinionated, gparted (and
sometimes OSX Disk Utility) are the safest bets - or just give away
multi-booting and simply run virtual machines.

I'm remembering now Vista being a culprit last time I was messing with this.. it kept switching how it is required to do dual boot. My take right now on "the conspiracy" is that all OS developers, FreeBSD and Microsoft have increasingly had a sense that there are resources that they need to dominate, and that this is some sort of design decision, not really having in mind the whole dual boot concept.

All this for me has fallen by the wayside, because I have long since decided that each OS warrants its very own dedicated hard drive instead of negotiating with these MBR headaches. Make sure you get a nice static grounding bracelet.
