According to comment #9 one other person has encountered this, but it's not easily or consistently reproducible.

So far I've only been able to reproduce it if 3 criteria are met:

(1) The partition selected for change must contain a previously installed OS.
(2) The selected partition must be a logical partition.
(3) The selected partition must be in the double digits, eg; sda13 or sda15 - so sdx10 or higher.

But even then it is not 100% reproducible. I even tried setting up a blank physical hard drive with 1 primary partition, a logical swap, and enough (8) logical partitions to extend to sda13 but could not reproduce it.

I've checked the effected hard drive with fdisk -lu for any irregularities and found none.

So I think we can only wait and see what happens, then follow up during the 15.04 dev cycle. It is easily worked around by reformatting with Gparted if it is encountered so even once confirmed it's a low priority bug.
