I launched an instance that had an older util-linux (2.28-5ubuntu2).
cp /sbin/sfdisk /sbin/sfdisk.old
mkdir /tmp/bin
ln -s /sbin/sfdisk.old /tmp/bin
sudo apt-get install util-linux

Then, i can see failure with the 'test-growpart' script at [1]
 sudo ./test-growpart
but this works as expected
 sudo PATH=/tmp/bin:$PATH ./test-growpart

So something in util-linux definitely changed behavior and broke this. I suspect this is common code to the kpartx failure in bug 1618525.
