No error encountered while deleting partitions, but when I attempted to
resize sda6 (ext3) back to it's original size I encountered another
error:

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

libparted messages    ( INFO )
        
Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda6 -- Device 
or resource busy. This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to 
/dev/sda6 until you reboot -- so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way 
before rebooting.
The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /dev/sda (Device or 
resource busy). This means Linux won't know anything about the modifications 
you made until you reboot. You should reboot your computer before doing 
anything with /dev/sda.

So a better title for this bug would have been: Lucid Gparted fails with
some create, format, resize operations.

And at least ext4, SWAP, and ext3 all seem to be effected.
