It is possible to run gdisk or parted on /dev/sdX1 accidentally instead of /dev/sdX. Pretty simple user error. It is also possible and appropriate if using v0.90 or v1.0 metadata on an array and you partition the array itself. Then it'll show up on member 0, any mirror of member 0, and possibly on a parity disk (if intervening blocks are zero).
