That's impressive; it seems to have got thoroughly confused about the optimal partition alignment on your disk. Could you please press Alt-F2, start a shell, and tell me the output of the following commands?

  cat /sys/block/sda/alignment_offset
  cat /sys/block/sda/queue/minimum_io_size
  cat /sys/block/sda/queue/optimal_io_size
  cat /sys/block/sda/queue/physical_block_size
