I can repeat this bug and also workaround it:
(parted) sel /dev/sdb
Using /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
(parted) p
Disk /dev/scsi/host1/bus0/target0/lun0/disc: 204GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
(parted) sel /dev/sda
Using /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc
(parted) p

Note that the first time /dev/sdb is selected parted prints an empty
partion table, but the second time the information is correct. I have
four disks on my system and this bug is seen with all but the first of
them (/dev/hda).
This is the output for fdisk on each of the disks:
