I just installed ubuntu-10.04-beta1-dvd-amd64.iso same as I did above
but without seeing this problem again (yay!). And on my mac mini, I
might add, lucid is a noticeable improvement over karmic (sweet!).

Last night I tried installing lucid-alternate-amd64.iso built
05-Mar-2010 07:35 on my mac mini circa March 2009. I manually configure
the disk partitions (I changed nothing because I already had the
partitions that I needed from Ubuntu 9.10 release) simply marking the
existing Ubuntu ext3
No, that's an old carried-over patch from ages back. This sounds like
an entry in parted 2.2's NEWS file; I've prepared an update to parted
2.2 in Debian experimental, which is just waiting for review from one of
the other maintainers, and then I'll upload it to Debian and merge it
into Ubuntu.
From the Changelog:
parted (2.1-4ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low
* Resynchronise with Debian experimental. Remaining changes:
- gptsync.dpatch: On Intel Mac systems, write a synced MBR rather than a
protective MBR.
