That still sounds like a bug. If I did a DD from a smaller to a

size and handle it correctly.
Gdisk does handle it correctly. It just does not correct it
automatically. If you ask to write the partition table, gdisk will ask
if you want to correct it. If you ask to verify the disk, it will
display the discrepancy and suggest how to correct it.
I guess it is because gdisk is designed to give full control to the
user, unlike parted and Gparted. I like it for this.
If I went to a Doctor, I wouldn't expect to have to prompt him to find
out if he thought there was a problem.
Gparted flags that there is an error while gdisk expects you to notice
it. Gparted offers a solution. Gdisk just sits there waiting for you to
learn enough to find out how to fix it. Both offer the same control. The
difference is that gparted does it in a friendlier manner.
