The reason that resizing is showing up is probably the automatic partitioner checking to see if it's possible to do automatic resizing (not actually doing the resize). A full copy of /var/log/syslog and /var/log/partman might be useful. I'll create a partman-auto task on this bug because this shouldn't cause partman to fall over and die.
