OK, that was easy enough, and I no longer get the "incompatible feature"
problem; now it's "strange layout":

        No Implementation: This ext2 filesystem has a rather strange
        layout!  Parted can't resize this (yet).

...and until I verify that it works on the throwaway partition, I'm not
willing to remove it and try just to move the other one.  (There's no
room to try moving the throwaway.)  So it looks like I'm still stuck,
although I may remove the throwaway, recreate a much smaller one, try
moving that, and see what happens.  However, I get the feeling that it's
a more general problem with the ext3 filesystems created by the latest
e2fsprogs.  Maybe I'll also try creating some with the older version (1.27)
on the parted boot floppies...

Thanks again,
