 I tried to reproduce, but I don't really know what you did. What exactly is
 autofill? Extending the size to the start of the next partition, i.e.
 pressing 'b'? This worked for me as it should.
 sysinst rather does not touch any of the other partitions when you enlarge
 another one, it will complain afterwards that they overlap and throw you back
 to partitioning.
 Could you please paste the created label and what *exactly* you did to get
 that label?
 
 Regards, Julian
