It should be. We probably do not handle correctly the case of re-editing
a preexisting partition and unchecking 'format' after having checked it
in the initial edit. In this case we should use the device tree to look
up the ActionDestroyFormat and ActionCreateFormat and cancel them both.

Right -- this is something we would need to do in any case if we have
scheduled a format action that we do not want to actually execute. For
new devices we can just schedule more actions and they get sorted out by
DeviceTree.pruneActions, but it has the same effect.
