I'll defer to people like yourself for how this needs to work wrt. boot loaders and creating partition tables. I'm CC:ing Eric Sandeen because he's also looking at this...
I wish it was left to people like myself. Realistically when it comes to disks with 4096-byte logical sectors it going to matter how the firmware chooses to expose it.
Most likely, the universe will explode at this time, since very few bootloaders can deal with a sector size other than 512 bytes, and virtually every partition table format contains a sector size dependency, which also means you'll break any mechanical imaging solution.
