Thanks for the report. 

Parted should recognise version 10000 GPT partition table. This is either
an internal type conversion bug or your GPT header size isn't 92 for
whatever reason.

I'm not familiar with GPT but Parted code has this section:

/libparted/disk_gpt.c:_generate_header() 

        gpt->Revision = PED_CPU_TO_LE32 (GPT_HEADER_REVISION_V1_00);
        gpt->HeaderSize = PED_CPU_TO_LE32 (92); /* per 1.02 spec */

Unless the GPT 1.00 spec defines HeaderSize to be 92 bytes too, this is
wrong (but otherwise, logically, too). The code above sets the GPT
revision to 1.00 but the header size is based on 1.02 spec.

What architecture do you have?
