When you say partitioning disk with modern tools... ok, let's said we have modern tools on 12.04.1 boot CD (that is not really the case since LVM and RAID are only on alternate CD... why ? is libre-office more relevant than a complete installing system ?)
When a disk is double partitionned, for example LVM over RAID, did it need to partition from the basement, that meens RAID level, or only the top final partitions, LVM level ?
If it needs to partition from the low level, and if it is not going to be fixed, I think it will need a tool, a script or whatever to get around this bug.
