Something seems to have changed in the lower-level parts of the system (kernel?) in cosmic that's causing pyparted to spout out this error whenever it's imported. I have filled in a bug for tracking this:

For now, since it doesn't seem to have any real effect on pyparted (since otherwise our partition unit tests would be failing, since those are run as non-root), I will be temporarily working around it in ubuntu-image.
