Bump.
This is a pretty significant bug, for a valid legacy MBR (without an 0xEE
entry), to be unreadable by parted. The choice parted offers is either honoring
the stale GPT, or treating the disk as an 'unknown' disklabel. This is exactly
what UEFI 5.3.2 warns against,[1] and is seems pretty clear parted is
"misinterpreting the contents of the disk."
