are you talking about the "BUG" section ? it only say that disklabel
doesn't clobber the partition table. the problem is that it overwrite
the following 15 sectors w/ boot2 while the first 10 sectors are used
by the RAID hardware... do you see the problem. using fdisk, disklabel
writes it's boot informations starting at sector 64 since the first
half cylinder is reserved by fdisk. so, it doesn't clobber anything.
is this explanation more clear ?

Cyrille.
