Just to follow up on my own question with the correct answer.

Under 2.1-STABLE at least, when using sysinstall to add a new
disk, do NOT write anything before quiting the partition editor.

Create your partitions, quit without writing and proceed directly
to the label editor. Everything seems to work as documented beyond
this.

Phew.
