Joe, I've just had a thought.... as zram is actually a compressed area of RAM and not a physical device, why would we expect parted to recognise what is going on? As far as I can read, it is actually reporting things entirely correctly.
parted is a disk partitioning and partition resizing program. It allows you to create, destroy, resize, move and copy ext2, linux-swap, FAT, FAT32, and reiserfs partitions. It can create, resize, and move Macintosh HFS partitions, as well as detect jfs, ntfs, ufs, and xfs partitions. It is useful for creating space for new operating systems, reorganising disk usage, and copying data to new hard disks.

It does not appear to be critical and this bug was found when investigating the crash / freeze issue.
