[DriveSetup] "Change parameters..." "Partition type" is not working.

Description
This is on hrev58270.
I used GParted on Linux to create a bunch of empty partitions on a new SSD drive (set type as "unformatted", maybe I should have used "empty" instead). Reason for using GParted, is because it explicitly offers to align partitions to MiB.
In any case, back to Haiku...
DriveSetup shows most the partitions as "Linux Native", and while I can format them in BFS... trying to change the partition type to "Be File System" does not actually changes the partition types (tried several times, even with reboots as in the past I notice a reboot is needed for changes in the "Active" flag to properly update in DriveSetup UI).
Attaching screenshot, just for clarity.
From Terminal, only text that appears after trying to change the partition type is:
DiskDeviceJobQueue::Execute(): executing job: N8BPrivate12SetStringJobE

FWIW, tried with an earlier image (hrev57730) I had lying around (as I kinda remenber this working at some point in the past, maybe it was on a GPT disk instead of intel/MBR). Same results as in description :-/
Also, noticed that seems "Change parameters..." is even disabled for logical partitions.
