In a freshly patched Karmic, usb-creator-kde does indeed set the LBA flag on my 2GB USB data stick. fdisk(1) prints the partition table as follows:
Command (m for help): p
Disk /dev/sdf: 2002 MB, 2002747392 bytes
62 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1017 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 3844 * 512 = 1968128 bytes

Command (m for help):
