No problem at all. It takes me some time to get back to this, too :)

I have an idea what happens here. (For my own notes: gparted inhibits
dk-d and after releasing the lock it seems to make no attempt to
re-detect stuff).

When you opened gparted, did you actually change any partition? I. e.
are the changes in the dkd.* logs that I see just artifacts from this
bug, or are there also real changes?

After you open/close gparted, does this command bring back everything?

  sudo udevadm trigger --action=change --subsystem-match=block

If that works, I know what the problem is.

There is indeed. System -> Admin -> System Testing.

Thanks!
