First of all: exemplary problem reporting!

The probe method of the GPT scheme explicitly disallows nesting.
This is inconsistent with the create method, which happily allows
creating a GPT underneath a MBR.

The bug is in the create method: GPT cannot be created inside a
MBR slice (or any other partioning for that matter). I'll fix
that shortly.
