i have a problem related to this bug too.. most likely

after the ubuntu partition > i have an extended partition which contains two logical partitions..
each logical partition has an 2048 free space in front of it....

ubuntu not only that resizes the partition in which it must install... but its moving the begining of the extended partition by 2046 to the right... (maybe he doesnt read the extended partition right, ...)..
i dont think this is a good ideea and i have to manually repair that after ubuntu instalation...
baybe i m not clear enought, i could upload some pictures if its needed...

something like:

2048 | sda1 | sda2 - swap | sda3 - ext4 | sda4 - extended |

extended looks like:

2048 | sda1 | sda2 - swap | sda3 - ext4 | 2048free| sda5-logical | 2048free| sda6-logical |

so it pushes sda3 to the right over extended sda 4 --- and sda 4 2046 to the right...
