(Get the code!)
I can confirm that this is an issue, and a rather annoying one at that.
The issue is not just with removable media. It does the same with all partitions on internal drives as well. I also thing gparted has something to do with it, and not hal as is suggested in similar bug reports. the problem does not occur with fdisk, or even parted. I am unable to use gparted for _any_ partitioning whatsoever. The best i can do is to see what my partition table looks like in the forms of coloured rectangles rather than a list of partitions and cylinders.
The problem is serious - it makes the Gnome Partiion Manager useless and makes it hell to fiddle with your partitions, which is kindof a day-to-day issue for people who keep reinstalling their operating systems for the fun of it.
