Hi Ping,
Are you sure that /dev/mapper/mpath2p1 device was not left over from
install, and perhaps existed before you did the parted? Remember
there were some changes to multipath in the installer, and the
installer now uses mpathXpX, and the running os uses mpathX-partX.. I
think that is right?
If the two devices truly were created in the same parted operation, if
you can reproduce it, can you run "udevadm monitor -p" during the
operation, and provide the output? thx.

Yes, I'm pretty sure the device wasn't left over from install:
% ls /dev/mapper/mpath4*
/dev/mapper/mpath4

This is the outputs when creating mpath4-part2.

Hi Ping Tian Han,
Can you please try to install the latest parted package from
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/parted/ and check if the issue is reproduced ?
Thank you.

The latest 3.2 version doesn't have this problem on dilllp1.
