Attention:

After talking with obgr_seneca, the last line has been changed to:
"We suggest to pre-partition the drive, using an alternative 
partitioning tool like gparted, if you own such a device."

So now the warning reads:

Some newer drives are now using 4096 byte logical sectors,
instead of the previous standard of 512 byte logical sectors.
Due to lack of available hardware, the partitioning tool used
in the installer has not been tested with such a drive.
We suggest to pre-partition the drive, using an alternative partitioning 
tool like gparted, if you own such a device.
