I'm not sure I agree. But that might be because my interpretation of alignment

Please just let me know whether the start of the first partition is your
indication of align-at not working. If yes, I'll come up with a fix pretty soon.

Yes, the second partition is ok. We are also interessted in gettig the first partition aligned (without this "msdos-compability" feature)
