This bug is in libparted rather than in parted as you can see from
this small C program:
#include <parted/parted.h>
int main() {
PedDevice *dev;
PedDisk *disk;
PedPartition *part;
dev = ped_device_get("bug.disk");
disk = ped_disk_new(dev);
part = ped_partition_new(disk,
PED_PARTITION_LOGICAL,
ped_file_system_type_get("linux-swap"),
1952, 2047);
ped_disk_print(disk);
if (!ped_disk_check(disk)) return;
ped_disk_add_partition(disk, part, ped_constraint_any(dev));
ped_disk_print(disk);
ped_disk_commit(disk);
}
