The fix for me was to fire up GParted, delete the partition, recreate it with 1M of blank space before it, and un-check align to cylinders. Everything is pretty now.
I tried just doing a resize operation at first but that took forever. I think it was illustrating to me the problem of block mis-alignment. :) It would be good to get the toolshain handling these alignment issues transparently for the user ...
