It still is broken for some disks:

(CMD) parted -s /dev/sdb unit TiB print 1> /tmp/h7McmrDIeR 2> /tmp/bnYHpUowLU
Executing: parted -s /dev/sdb unit TiB print
Command parted -s /dev/sdb unit TiB print had exit code 1
Parted was unable to read the partition table
(STDOUT) No Implementation: Partition 1 isn't aligned to cylinder boundaries.  This is still unsupported.
