Yes. Fixed in upstream git repository. Thanks for your bug report.

Please, be careful with cfdisk, sfdisk and all partitioning tools
that uses Cylinder-Head-Sector as basic unit or blindly check
partitions against CHS rules (e.g. cylinder boundary).
The modern partitioning tools (fdisk or parted 2.x) don't have to
follow the CHS stuff because it's unnecessary for sane operation
systems and sometimes it's incompatible with 4K sector alignment
(raids, new disks, ...).
