And it indeed fixes the parted_devices output (thanks for compiling
it!), but unfortunately not the partman dialog. Because that gets the
info straight from parted_server in partman-md/init.d/md-devices:
open_dialog PARTITIONS
free_space=''
while { read_line num id size type fs path name; [ "$id" ]; }; do
if [ "$fs" = free ]; then
free_space=$id
free_size=$size
fi
done
close_dialog
In the present case parted_server returns:
num=(-1) id=(0-4161535) size=(4161536) type=(primary) fs=(free) path=(/dev/md0)
name=()
that is, it erroneously reports half the real size.
I could go on to replace PED_SECTOR_SIZE_DEFAULT with dev->sector_size
throughout partman-base/parted_server.c, but I'm getting suspicious.
Isn't there a good reason for this state of affairs?

Of course you guessed right. Non-i386 people probably never forget
specifying their architecture...
