Maybe it is intentional, but very unpleasant :-(
New bootblocks says:
partition is out of reach from the bios
on old default partition: 255,1023,63 50000
Converting it to right partition via sysinstall is impossible
due to different start offset.
Converting it manually involves some unpleasant calculations.
I forced to find and restore old boot2 :-(
