Well that's kinda unfortunate behavior. I think the blacklist should cause just "Use All Space" to force a new or existing GPT to be MBR. But really, I've advocated the exact opposite you are, which is I think BIOS hardware with disks < 2TB should default to MBR, not GPT. There's minimal advantage, and more trouble.

However, if you're really committed to GPT, convert the MBR to GPT using gdisk after the fact. I suggest custom partitioning to reserve 1MB unallocated. Post install, gdisk to add a BIOS Boot partition, gdisk type code 0xEF02. Then when you reinstall GRUB2, it will automatically stuff core.img in it.
