I've partly fixed this in partman-partitioning, not yet uploaded:
* Colin Watson
- Fix number of arguments that change_name expects from PARTITION_INFO
(partly fixes #268495).
This should at least make sure that it's possible to change the name at
all, and that it won't leave the dialog empty to start with.
It's still possible to hang parted_server by entering an empty name,
which is a separate problem: the implementation of the SET_NAME command
uses fscanf(" %a[^\n]"), which never returns if you only send
whitespace.
Cheers,
