The whole idea of misaligned backup GPT at the end of device is broken.
We should not follow that with adding hacks when the easy solution
is just to align a partition properly.

I fully agree to that. It is like having a virtual sector size and
then selectively in some places only not sticking to it. Not smart
and a gross KISS violation. And, of course, fundamental problems
like this one should always be fixed were they are caused.

And it should be fixed in fdisk now:

Not sure if parted is maintained these days, but it should follow this approach...
