OK...I take it back...

The actual reason was that IDIOTIC and illogical naming.

I will never understand why a _fully published_ version of gparted in
Utopic is called 0.19.0-1___build___1 and your still somewhat unofficial
PPA-only version is called 0.19.0-1-___ubuntu___1.

Normally, the x.yy.z-p-ubuntuQ naming ought to be used for releases that are in 
the *standard* distribution, and not the PPA. It is always way better to 
indicate certain builds of packages coming from a PPA by using an appropriate 
filename (at least not the above one, that's for sure).
So JFTR, at the moment, 0.19.0-1build1 is the (non-working, crap)  version 
shipped with Utopic, whilst 0.19.0-1ubuntu1 is the (working) PPA version. Just 
to get this clear for further readers running into this extremely 
time-consuming problem.

BTW sorry for the rude tone, but I've really wasted way too much
pointless time with this stuff now, and that---may I quote the
description---so-called "minor regression". I'd burst out laughing, if
it wasn't so pathetic...? That oh-so "minor" regression will be enough
for me for months again...

Mind you all of you, "essential tools with little bugs" and "essential tools 
that do not run at all" is not quite the same thing...
Lastly: YES 0.19.0-1ubuntu1 is the first version that works again since 0.18.x. 
Good Lord...don't get  me started about the QA here therefore...
