I restore the image to a file and the partition holding the file is large enough to hold the restored partition. I can try it again omitting the -C option of partclone.restore but I am quite sure that it won't make a difference.
By the way: partclone.restore is v0.2.14 and partclone.extfs is the version included in clonezilla live 1.2.5-35.
