sorry but the commit who activate the 1M alignment is this one : http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/parted.git/commit/?id=c749046a54d983f74f8156c0aea71b0995b9477d

And I don't see anything like this in source and patches (maybe I'm wrong, but it's hidden)

To be more precise, I do my own package (parted 3.1, a future ppa will come) and I _really_ see different when use with ubuntu-vm-builder :
In the current case, I have a disk with 4k block, my partition is 512 align and my VM is 512 align! (you see the problem I hope)

Here is for example a (bad) workaround : http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~guilhem-fr/vmbuilder/parted/revision/484

I understand the problem with 2 different versions. But when you see the parted changelog, it's unbelievable to keep an old / patchy version of somethings so central in a Linux distribution (and to see fedora with 3.1 and debian with 2.3 while it's a debian project...)
