Parted gets it's BIOS geometry from linux in the first place...
unless it is inconsistent with the partition table, which it
is in your case.

You haven't convinced me that these semantics are bad, or that
parted doesn't match these semantics.


Basically: BIOS geometry is not well defined.  I don't care if it
sometimes doesn't match what the BIOS says - it is better to keep
the partition table consistent.  (eg: while doing data recovery
on another machine)
