Sorry, you are correct, this was in fact added since 2.6.26.
Just tried out making a partitioned loop device:
dd if=/dev/zero of=100GB bs=1 count=1 seek=100G
modprobe loop max_part=8
losetup /dev/loop7 100GB
cfdisk /dev/loop7
[ made two partitions, commit, quit cfdisk ]
[ ...but partitions did not automatically appear as /dev/loop7pX ]
blockdev --rereadpt /dev/loop7
[ OK, now here they are: ]
$ ls -la /dev/loop7p?
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 7, 113 Feb 27 15:10 /dev/loop7p1
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 7, 114 Feb 27 15:10 /dev/loop7p2

With respect,
Roman
