Nothing, it works as expected. It is not fixed offset but req. alignment.
Using --align-payload=1024 means alignment to the nearest 512KiB boundary,
because the keyslots space requires more than 512KiB it aligns to next multiple
of it - i.e. 2048 sectors.
If you increase key size (thus keyslots size), it will probably switch to to 3072 etc.
