After thinking a little bit more about it I no longer consider it necessary to 
refuse handling of the whole disk, because the errors are not triggered on 
primary partitions. But I would put the logical partitions inside an 
inappropriately aligned extended partition and the extended itself in a „read 
only“ mode to prevent messing up the layout. At least until someone comes up 
with a better solution...
