Correct, and I wasn't sufficiently clear.  Not only did the installer
put /boot on the last partition, but on the last sectors of the disk
(which is really what caught my attention).  And yes, both are forced
to primary partitions:

# fdisk -l /dev/sda
   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sda1            2048   975749119   487873536   fd  Linux raid 
autodetect
/dev/sda2   *   975749120   976773119      512000   fd  Linux raid 
autodetect

I wasn't so much surprised at the partition number but rather the
sector offset of /boot.
