... and actually, you wouldn't see these errors if not for a kernel bug
that's happening as well.  It's creating partition devices with backing
sectors that aren't valid for the disk.  That's just plain wrong.

Are you seeing these errors after booting, or just during the boot
process?  If it's the former, they should be pretty harmless, though
ugly.
