 From what I remember while looking at this problem we'd get passed the code
where FOO:BAR, FOO:, and :BAR where looked at then try to decide about BAZ.
BAZ would be looked up in a dl opened library which caused a segfault.  This
means that we currently don't get back to the point where store_typed_open
calls store_open on BAZ.  If we could get passed looking up BAZ as a class
we would get to store_opening BAZ as a file which should fix parted.
