It seems that I inadvertently fixed the other bug while fixing loop labels. If partprobe refuses to act, it should not return success. Upstream has changed the behaviour so that it actually *does* remove any existing partitions and then return success, so when 3.2 is released and makes its way to ubuntu, I suppose that will resolve this.
