My fdisk (from util-linux-ng 2.17.2) does 1MB alignment for the first partition, but then it does no alignment at all for the 3 primary partitions and while it puts 1MB between the logical partitions, that also does not result in alignment to anything as far as I can tell. I suspect that you have to align yourself for the partitions. This was with a new, blank disk, but I gave sizes in kB, as the partitions go into RAID sets. Maybe it aligns if you give sizes in MB.
