Just did some Googling, and it looks like the key for me was that I used
fdisk to fix the partition order. Did you ever do that on that disk?
Reportedly it screws up parted ... good to know ...

Ah! Just now tried deleting the last partition with fdisk and
reallocating it. Seems it really was too close to the previous one.
(Fortunately it was a swap partition, so I didn't have to worry about
the data.)

So I guess the lesson for me is not to use that reorder command in fdisk
on logical partitions; you wind up with overlap. (Now to complain to the
parted guys; I wish it'd just create the partitions in the right order
to begin with, no matter what order I define them in ...)

Does that help, Zett?
