This only happens when specifying --file-system-type=iso9660.

I would like to log the commandline with which parted is executed in
initialize-partition-table in gnu/build/vm.scm, but I do not know
where all the output is going.  Apparently it is nowhere in the logs.

I was wrong; grub-mkrescue in gnu/build/vm.scm creates the ISO9660
partition table, not parted.  It appears I can get at its commandline
by reconfiguring with a modified grub package that raises an error
containing the commandline.  I will try later.

This seems to be a duplicate of https://issues.guix.info/issue/33639
, I think, but it happens to me on x86_64.
