I tested 4.0~beta2+experimental19 . An old bug seems to have
re-surfaced, and not much useful work gets done.

The job ends with 
Preserving extended partitions is not supported; mark all logical partitions instead

The "all" obviously includes the extended partition, thus this check
makes the "preserve_always:all" unusable on disks which contain extended
parititions.

Log attached.
