After manually formatting the partition using mkfs.ntfs

This bug is important because:
Zeroing out a partition for security reasons and then wanting to reformat it is perfectly common behavior.

Present in Ubuntu 10.10
Here's how I triggered the bug.
Use the shred command to zero out a partition:
shred -vz -n 1 /dev/sda2
Running gparted then results in:
