From the page you refer to: "We have intensively tested ntfsresize 1.9.0 before
the stable public release for months and found it just as reliable as the
earlier ntfsresize versions if the precaution instruction was followed: "always
make a test run". Usage is the same as with the older stable versions but please
read carefully and fully its manual page."

I guess the installer needs to make some kind of proper integrity test of the
resized NTFS partition and revert the size change in case of trouble *before*
allowing new partitions to be created (or at least formatted) in the place where
the NTFS partition lived.
