Ok, let's go for something weird:

Try 

parted -s /dev/sdb mkpart logical "" 144249984B 2281724927B

instead of the last parted command (that's just a higher start byte). Would that
work? If it does, could you find out which bytes work and which don't (you'll
have to remove the partition again or just redo the same sequence of commands
several times, the sleep can probably be dropped).

Thanks a lot,
Michael
