If that really such a common scenario? What tool/scenario seems to cause the trouble?
I haven't a clue what causes it, but I do see people with the problem on the forums at least every few months.
Perhaps parted should provide a way to fix it via a low level partition-resize command, partition-resize N START END Where you might use partition-resize 3 +0 -50s in order to shrink the 3rd partition by 50 sectors.
I suppose that could be handy, though in the end, the result is the same when you delete the partition, then recreate it with almost the same parameters, which is what I usually tell people to do with fdisk, and have seen others give similar advice.
