I believe I am affected by this bug, but I wanted to check to see if I
am having the same issue.

I have an amd 990X chipset which uses SB950, according to
http://www.redhat.com/archives/ataraid-list/2012-March/msg00001.html it
is probably a Promise controller.

I have two 2TB disks in RAID0 which windows was able to see and partition with 
GPT.
sudo dmraid -r:
/dev/sdb: pdc, "pdc_ejdejgej", stripe, ok, 1758766336 sectors, data@ 0
/dev/sda: pdc, "pdc_ejdejgej", stripe, ok, 1758766336 sectors, data@ 0

Ubuntu doesn't see the correct volume size.
sudo /dev/mapper/gdisk pdc_ejdejgej:
GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.8.8

Warning! Disk size is smaller than the main header indicates! Loading
secondary header from the last sector of the disk! You should use 'v' to
verify disk integrity, and perhaps options on the experts' menu to repair
the disk.
Warning! Main and backup partition tables differ! Use the 'c' and 'e' options
on the recovery & transformation menu to examine the two tables.

Warning! One or more CRCs don't match. You should repair the disk!

Partition table scan:
  MBR: protective
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: damaged

****************************************************************************
Caution: Found protective or hybrid MBR and corrupt GPT. Using GPT, but disk
verification and recovery are STRONGLY recommended.
