Here is a case to add to the mix:  I tried partitioning an 80MB sd2 into a
40MB swap partition and the remainder user slice 3 (or something like that)
in Apple's utility.  Disklabel would show sd2a as 16K unknown (the driver
partition which I couldn't get rid of) and sd2b as swap (correct), but no
other partitions.  When I changed the partition to root&user then
everything worked.

Allen, does the change you just made fix this problem?

Using -current of Sept 27 (with Allen's for.hotz kernel) and version 7.3.5
of Apple's HD SC Setup;  patched, but it's an Apple disk anyway.
