While parted lays out the disk this way, it doesn't have to be.  The EBR
for each chained logical volume can be placed anywhere in the extended
partition.  In his case, it looks like both are at the start of the
extended partition.  This is perfectly ok and parted should accept it.

Now that I have both EBRs I'm able to reproduce the crash and will try
to fix it.
