Same wrong result as in previous test

My possibly incorrect understanding of this is that the slice will start on a block that is aligned to the old CHS values for backwards compatibility.

When gpart -a4k is used to create FreeBSD partitions inside that slice,
those partitions will be 4K aligned.
