I found the Parted present in Nexenta's repositories to be derived
from some 1.6.x version. Since Nexenta is basically GNU/OpenSolaris,
is there any similarity with it and the OpenSolaris you are referring
to?

I had mailed the Parted maintainer for Nexenta and he had mailed me a
diff to port GNU Parted 1.6.x to Nexenta. I had noticed the above two
changes that you have mentioned that time too.

The best thing would be for you to provide a diff against GNU Parted's
Git repository. Is this feasible for you?

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
