Nice, gdisk correctly handles the situation.  Literally: gdisk, write, quit.
Can we get parted and fdisk/cfdisk to be as clever, and not discard the first table because the second table is inaccessible?  That's the whole point of having two tables ...

This bug causes Linux installers to overwrite working Windows installations.
