Parted basically never printed any sizes correctly. E.g. start of
partitions in bytes:

% parted /dev/sda print | awk '/^[[:digit:]]/{printf("%16.3f\n",$2*1048576)}'
       32505.856  <--- 32505 bytes and 6.848 bits :-))
  3150281965.568
  8398010580.992
 29372474982.400
 29372507488.256
 31469953089.536

% sfdisk -d /dev/sda | awk '/start/{printf("%16.3f\n",$4*512)}'
       32256.000
  3150282240.000
  8398010880.000
 29372474880.000
 29372507136.000
 31469953536.000

Parted values are sometimes more, sometimes less than the real values.

Balazs Scheidler sent a patch over a year ago to make parted work with
geometries specified in sectors,
