In short: Don't revert the design and intent of gpart. Let it

adjust accordingly. The gpart utility will lose its power if
that is being meddled with, because it's power comes from the
fact that you do not have to know the particulars of the scheme
in use, nor even the scheme being used in order to work with it.
This is key in having it be scriptable.
You want a way to let gpart (and the kernel) know that you are
aware of the scheme and are going to do things that should not
be interpreted as coming from behind a "veil of ignorance" so
to speak.
This is entirely too reasonable for me to argue. :)
What needs to be done to proceed?
