Now that I've dispatched those bugs, it is probably at the front of my
queue.  Though I'm not yet sure if I'll work on that first or
autoconfiscating fsresize.

You can get at least part of what you want by setting
PARTED_SECTOR_SIZE=4096 in parted's environment.

E.g.,

  PARTED_SECTOR_SIZE=4096 parted -s -- FILE u s p

That's what "make check" does.  It runs the test suite 4 times.
First with no envvar setting, and then with settings of 1024, 2048 and 4096.
