How about adding 1 sector offset when access disk image.
So that it looks like the 63rd sector, but it's indeed the 64th.
The problem with that is you make it suck on OSes which actually partition sanely.

You mean guest OSes?
Guest OSes never know this offset, adding one sector offset is in qemu and 
transparent to them.

I mean guest OSes.

And no, they won't know the difference, but you are suggesting optimizing for guest OSes who are legacy/broken *AT THE EXPENSE* of guest OSes who do things sanely.

As partition and install utilities get a clue, there are going to be less of the former and more of the latter.
