The position doesn't really matter.

Correct, and I wasn't sufficiently clear.  Not only did the installer
put /boot on the last partition, but on the last sectors of the disk
(which is really what caught my attention).  And yes, both are forced
to primary partitions:

# fdisk -l /dev/sda
  Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1 2048 975749119 487873536 fd Linux raid autodetect /dev/sda2 * 975749120 976773119 512000 fd Linux raid autodetect

I wasn't so much surprised at the partition number but rather the
sector offset of /boot.
