I ran into the exact same problem just now creating a new partition on
a hard drive, probably a race condition.  It likely needs a loop
waiting for the new partition to really be available.

Found an easy enough workaround, run the suggested wipefs command
manually, then reopen gnome-disks.

Best wishes,
